Bangladeshi artistes will sing for Tapas Das from Moheener Ghoraguli
Singer-songwriter Tapas Bapi Das, one of the original members of the Bengali rock band, Moheener Ghoraguli, is suffering from third stage lung cancer. The artiste is currently going through chemotherapy treatment. Although Moheener Ghoraguli is a popular 70s band, it has huge fans in Bangladesh as well.
In order to financially support Bapi, so that he can continue his treatment, Bangladeshi singers who have been fans of the band have arranged a concert titled "Bhalobashi Jyotsnay". All of the money earned from this concert will be invested in Bapi's treatment.
