BROKEN HALLELUJAH

‘Fighting for my existence and writing songs, I am just a baffled king of Leonard Cohen, who composed Hallelujah after falling the minor chord and lifting the major.’ So says Bibhubrata, a Bengali singer-songwriter from Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
After a succession of devastating COVID lockdowns, the daily struggle to survive, the desolated future, and the fear of losing close relationships, everyone has felt loss. Standing beside Bibhubrata, and listening to him compose his songs, is a reminder of life’s ineffable emptiness, and how one’s journey is also a soliloquy with a vast void that provokes the question of how many roads a person travels to arrive home.
By peering in the window of this musician and artist grappling with his mental health at a time of a global crisis Broken Hallelujah ponders life in a post-COVID world.
