James (Faruk Mahfuz Anam)
James (Faruk Mahfuj Anam) GeneRally known simply as James is a Bangladeshi singer and composer. He was a member of the band Feelings and later formed the band Nagar Baul. James was raised in Chittagong and later moved to Dhaka for his singing career. Stylishly longhaired James--overwhelmingly known as the Nagar Baul (the City Bard), was the pioneer of psychedelic rock in Bangladesh. Originally a lead singer and guitarist, he has always been respected for his solo projects. His presence in rock music has been prolonged; his influence on those of successive generations has been profound. Something fresh was there--the audience could feel it. He became affectionately called Guru by his innumerable fans. His tunes were bright and his singing a divergence from the archetypal tunes preferred by the commercial-type directors. His songs expressed love, rage, discontent, frustration and happiness.
James entered the Bollywood with bheegi bheegi inspired from "Prithibi" by Moheener Ghoraguli in the movie Gangster.
