Rupam On The Rocks by Rupam Islam [Hardcover]

The vibrant rockstar, who burst onto the Bengali cultural scene like a comet, has ingrained the almost unfamiliar term 'rockstar' into our lexicon. His work in song creation, vocal style, and stage presentation can be deemed nothing short of a revolutionary movement, breaking traditional norms.

Widely recognized as an icon among the younger generation, his magic touch is sought after in problem-solving columns in "1920". However, beyond the frenzy, he maintains a secluded 'solitary room', where he often reflects, stating "Life is no longer straightforward," dismissing all recognition with "Don't consider the practiced bounds as a gift."

This self-evaluation often emerges in his prose writing, rather than through the lyrics of his songs. He regularly brought this hidden persona to the forefront on his FM show "RUPAM ON THE ROCKS". Although the show has ended over time, the unwavering love and support from his listeners have kept the essence of the show alive in his heart.

More words, unknown facts, and feelings have accumulated, making the pages of this book come alive with new, unfamiliar episodes of that popular show. It includes his unpublished songs, prose writings, essays, and numerous photos. For Bengali rock enthusiasts, this book is a gift of joy.
