Bappa Mazumder and Shanjib Chowdhury were first met each other at a local market in Dhaka in 1993. Bappa and Sanjeeb began to work together when Bappa asked Shanjib to work on his solo album. Sanjeeb wrote a number of songs including “Rani Ghumay”, “Chokkhu Khule Dekho” and “Hattimatimtim” for Bappa’s inaugural solo album. They worked together in the Aashok Karmokar photo exhibition 'Kalratri' , which impressed the audiences and encouraged the duo to form a band. Sanjeeb proposed Bappa to form a musical group. Bappa agreed and Sanjeeb named the Band Dalchhut As a result, Dalchhut was formed in November 1996.^[1] The initial line up only included Bappa and Sanjeeb. Famous base guitarist and singer Shumon of band Aurthohin helped them in early stages.
