īangla released their second album Protutponnomotitto in 2006 which was a tribute to Lalon. The album sold over a hundred thousand copies in the first two weeks of its release. The same year, Bangla released their debut album Kingkortobbobimurho under the label of Ektaar music, featuring several little-known folk songs. In 2002, the band took part at The Benson and Hedges Star Search and Arnob eventually received the Award for Best Instrumentalist for his role as the Esraj player. The band later performed in a concert at the Art Institute Dhaka in 2000. Before that, the band also performed in Art and Music Fest at Drik Art Gallery, Dhaka. Prothom Alo referred their performance as Jatra Arombho or the beginning of the journey of this band. Journey īangla first made its formal public appearance in October 1999, in the Nescafe show at the Dhaka Sheraton. A year later, Nazrul, also an acquaintance of Anusheh, joined as the Dhol player. Thus they came to be known as the band " Bangla". The band was then joined by Kartik, former guitarist of Prachayanat. Their performance received good feedback from the audience. The trio performed together at a public concert in Kolkata Book Fair in 1999. On their visit to Lalon's shrine in Kushtia, Arnob and Anusheh met Buno, a close friend of Anusheh and a bassist. Anusheh, who was well trained on Indian Classical Music, subsequently accepted the invitation of Arnob and became the lead vocalist. One day, Anusheh came to visit Shantiniketan, who was a family friend of Arnob.
Due to his interest in music, he casually formed a band with his friends in Santineketan in a motive to spread out Bengali folk songs.
The formation of the band dates back to the late '90s when Arnob was a student of Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan.
