Career

Bachchu formed Feelings, later known as Nagar Baul) in 1977 while playing with his own band Ugly Boys. James, the feeling's frontman, said he heard Bachchu playing guitar at a tea stall. He was astonished by Bachchu's playing style and he begged him to join the band. He joined the band in 1977 as the lead guitarist and lasted with the band for two years until 1980, when Souls' lead guitarist Sajed ul Alam left the band for the United States. Bachchu was playing with Feelings in a Chittagong club, where Souls keyboardist Naquib Khan was present. He was astonished by Bachchu's playing, and he spoke to lead singer Tapan Chowdhury about it. Both of them saw Bachchu playing in the club next day and they asked him to join Souls. He joined Souls in early-1980 and spent the next ten years as the lead guitarist, songwriter, and occasional singer. He had appeared on four studio albums of the band, including Super Souls (1982), College Er Corridore (1985), and Manush Matir Kachachach (1987), which includes the first song performed by him, "Harano Bikeler Golpo."

Saidul Hasan Swapan on bass guitars formed Yellow River Band on 5 April 1991, S.I. Tutul on keyboards and Habib Anwar Joy on drums. They were mistakenly called the Little River Band, which Bachchu adored and officially named his band when they were playing in a pub in mid-1991. But, they changed their name to Love Runs Blind in 1997 after learning of the Australian rock band under the same name. LRB held their first ever concert in Dhaka, which was sponsored by BAMBA, in honor of autocratic leader Hussein Muhammad Ershad's demise. They launched LRB I and LRB II in January 1992, the first ever double album. Shukh, the band's third studio album, was released in June 1993. It contained "Cholo Bodle Jai," which was regarded by some as Bachchu's finest work. They released several albums in the 1990s and quickly became one of Bangladesh's most well-known rock bands. They appeared in Bengaluru in 1996, their first concert outside Bangladesh. LRB is the only Bangladeshi artist to perform in the Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The other members of LRB announced Balam Jahangir as their new lead singer after Bachchu's death. Bachchu's wife and daughter were dissatisfied with the band's members, who were performing with a new artist under the name LRB. They begged the members to change the name. For the first few days, the band was disbanded, and Balam, the remaining members of the band, formed "Balam and the Legacy," which Balam joined. According to the Bangladesh Copyright Office, "Bachchu is the sole owner of LRB, only his heirs can run the band with the same name." Ahnaf Tazwar Ayub, Bachchu's uncle, posted on Facebook that he was "okay" with the other members of the band keeping the name, and later Bachchu's wife and daughter agreed on it.

Bachchu had already recorded and released two albums, Rokto Golap and Moyna, both of which mostly contained pop rock songs when working with Souls. Those albums also featured classical music fusion and a featured instrument, the tabla.

Fans were raving over the album's unveiling. The album had sold over 300,000 copies by 1996 and is one of Bangladesh's most best-selling albums.

Although Bachchu left Souls because of his passion for "rocking, melodic guitar music," his solo career was mainly pop rock, soft rock music. Bachchu had a penchant for blues, jazz, and funk from the start of his career. He's passion for those genres reflected on his band's LRB's music, but he wanted to do blues, jazz, and funk in his solo career. Bachchu founded AB Kitchen, which later became a brand in the early-1990s. Bachchu's band LRB: LRB I and LRB II in 1992 and Amader and Bishmoy in 1998 had two double albums: LRB I and LRB II.
