I was 12 when I first realized, there is a Bengali musician who plays — Ayub Bachchu

"I have released a lot of albums. Theyre all fine. Somewhere down the road, I made a few mistakes. Since music is my profession. Im not doing music for its a fashionable thing to do. This is my only living. So maybe I had to sing some songs that I didnt like at all. I sometimes regret it and think that I couldve avoided doing those 4-5 songs. Other than those, all my songs are like my children - those that I composed, LRB songs, my solo album songs. All of those are my favorite - all of them. But I dont think I have yet been able to make that song, the song I may have dreamt of all my life, a song that will make the listeners know Bangladesh. The world will know Bangladesh through that song."

"I left Souls because of two different tastes in sounds. They liked one kind of music, I liked another. I was into loud, rocking, powerful sounds, and the rest of the members wanted quiet, melodious sounds. You cannot just compromise day after day. We never really had any big arguments, but it occurred to me that it would be better if I just quit and do something different."

"This song has a background that Ill never reveal. Ever! It is everyones story, not only mine. Listeners from both East and West Bengal - all love this song. They have the lyrics memorized and they sing it for their partners, their loved ones. Maybe I sang this for someone I loved. Let the rest of the story remain a secret. Why I asked for forgiveness, why I said "Cholo Bodle Jai" (Lets Change) - lets keep these undisclosed. When you marry your loved one, things change a great deal. You sometimes cant help but feel like going back to being lovers again after marriage. Life wouldve been better if you could just stay lovers."

"When Ayub Bachchu started his career, the guitar wasnt as prominent as an instrument. He made sure that it was the heart and soul of his music, and the entire country followed. That alone is enough to explain his legacy."

"Most of all I like Hendrix. He did not make the guitar playing very critical note after note. He played the guitar as per his feelings. I have been trying that."

"LRB is disenchanted in cheap popularity. Whatever the language of the song is or from what country its from, music is for everyone. Thats why weve composed this two cassettes about the world around us. If any of these two cassette touches the heart of a good listener, we will find the satisfaction of all our hard work. LRB makes music for those people who loves to listen to good music and takes the problems around them as their own problem."
