Black is an alternative rock band which was originally formed in Dhaka, Bangladesh by vocalist Jon Kabir, guitarist Mushfeque Jahan, and drummer Tony Vincent. Black started to gain popularity after they released their first song "Chenna Dukkho" in the 2000 compilation album, Charpotro.
Black then released two more singles from the compilation album Anushilon. In 2002, Black released their debut record titled Amar Prithibi. Between beginning work on the album in the fall of 2001 and its release, they had also released other singles in various compilation albums. After the release of Amar Prithibi, the band began work on their follow-up album, Utshober Por. Notable tracks, including "Utshober Por" (the album's title track) and "Shloak" received frequent radio airplay.
On April 20, 2005, Black was returning home after the completion of a tour in Chittagong when their bus crashed near a ditch on the road. The crash caused the death of Imran Ahmed Choudhury Mobin, a sound engineer in the music industry of Bangladesh and a close friend of the band. Jon, Jahan, and Tahsan suffered minor injuries, while Miraz and Tony had to be hospitalized immediately. The band members announced a hiatus until further notice. Miraz was diagnosed with a permanently damaged patella and had to leave the band indefinitely.
Although the band was inactive for a while, they were still releasing singles through compilation albums. After a five-year break, the band announced their official comeback with the release of their third studio album titled Abar, which was released in 2008. Black released their self-titled fourth studio album on August 21, 2011."B L A C K ." AmaderGaan.com the premier music portal of Bangladesh
