Album : Coffee House (1983)
Flute used for the notations: F#
This is one of the landmark songs in Bengali music. Manna De puts emotions in the lyrics of this song that illustrates the role of a coffee house in the lives of seven friends.
I have tried to jot down all the parts of this song including prelude, interludes and all five stanzas. Pay attention in playing Komal Nishad (n) and Komal Dhaiwat (d) wherever indicated.
