Coke Studio Bangla Season 2 opener pays homage to regional language with 'Murir Tin'

Coke Studio Bangla, the Bangladesh edition of Coca-Cola's international music platform - Coke Studio, dropped the first song of season 2 titled "Murir Tin" which contains famous dialects of Chattogram, Sylhet and Khulna. For the first time ever, the song drop was launched simultaneously in 6 different locations in a special screening event across four different divisions, including Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet and Khulna. 

"Murir Tin" is a widely used term for local bus in Chattogram.  It is a fun, dynamic and energetic song that talks about youth being stuck at traffic. It features three of Bangladesh's brightest upcoming artists - Riyaad Hasan, Towfique Ahmed, and Pollob, said a press release. 

Shayan Chowdhury Arnob, music producer of Coke Studio Bangla, said "Murir tin is a very fun and high energy song and that's the kind of energy we want to kick off season 2 with. Working with these young and talented artists has been an enriching experience. We hope people love the season opener and continue supporting us throughout the year."

Murir Tin is primarily sung in the Chittagonian language or Chattgaiya, which is spoken by over 13,000,000 people and happens to be one of the oldest languages in the world. The song is being launched in the month of February to mark the International Mother Language Day and pay respect to the many languages spoken across Bangladesh.

Riyaad Hasan said, "Being a part of Coke Studio Bangla has been a surreal experience. I hope everyone keeps singing this song for the time to come."
