about
Moheener Ghoraguli or Mohiner Ghoraguli (Bengali: মহীনের ঘোড়াগুলি) is a Bengali indie-rock group from Kolkata. Established in the 1970s, it was one of the pioneers of rock music in the Bengali language, and although it failed to make much of an impact at the time, its music has since gained a wide following in modern-day West Bengal and Bangladesh. The name of the band itself is a strange one. The literal meaning of Moheen'er Ghora-guli is "Moheen's horses". While this obscure phrase puzzles many of the band's fans, it is actually taken from a poem Ghora ('Horses') by the great modernist Bengali poet Jibanananda Das. The second line of the poem is: Moheener ghoragulo ghash khae Kartik'er jyotsna'r prantorey loosely translated as: "Moheen's horses graze on the horizon, in the Autumn moonlight" User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
