Shangbigno Pakhikul O Kolkata Bishayak (Bengali: সংবিগ্ন পাখিকূল ও কলকাতা বিষয়ক, Anxious Feathers and Thematic Kolkata) is the debut album by the Bengali rock band Moheener Ghoraguli.[1] It was released in 1977 by Gathani Records.[2] It was recorded at a local studio in Kolkata during their formation period from 1976 to 1977. The band at the time consisted of Gautam Chattopadhyay (vocals, lead guitar, saxophone), Biswanath Chattopadhyay (drums, bass, violin), Pradip Chatterjee (bass, flute), Ranjon Ghoshal (emcee, visuals, media relations), Abraham Mazumdar (vocals, piano, violin), Tapas Das (vocals, guitar), Tapesh Bandopadhyay (vocals, guitar).[3] Gautam also served as the band's primary songwriter, though he contributed only one track on the album credited to the band collectively and other tracks were written by Ranjon, Tapas and Tapesh.
The album takes a city name Kolkata, the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal, and featuring artwork of moonlit night sketch of the city designed by Ranjon, Sarmistha Chatterjee and Sangeeta Ghoshal.[4]
Two of its songs, "Shangbigno Pakhikul" and "Haay, Bhalobasi" remade and reissue in their collaborative albums Jhora Somoyer Gaan (1996) and Maya (1997) respectively. Where "Haay, Bhalobasi" became long-term mainstays of the band's live setlist. Since its release, the album has been hailed as a baul-jazz album in the Bengali music scene.[citation needed]
