Tumi Robe Nirobe: A Century-Old Bengali Masterpiece Reimagined for the World Stage
In a rare artistic endeavor that bridges continents, cultures, and centuries, Tumi Robe Nirobe, a timeless composition by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, has been reimagined for the global stage. The song is being released by reputed U.S.label Bongo Boy Records. This soul-stirring rendition — interpreted with haunting intimacy by New Jersey-based vocalist Aninda Bose — is now being presented for GRAMMY® consideration under the category Best Global Music Performance (Outstanding Vocals).
Written and composed in 1895, Tumi Robe Nirobe ('You remain in silence') explores the metaphysical space between presence and absence — a contemplative ode to love, stillness, and spiritual connection. The piece is re-envisioned in a modern arrangement while staying rooted in its lyrical origin — a poignant echo of what Tagore may have envisioned when he wrote it over a century ago.
The release date is no coincidence — August 7, 2025, marks the anniversary of Tagore's passing, and this rendition serves as a humble yet powerful ode to his legacy. The song will be available for streaming and download worldwide across all major platforms. A music video will also accompany the launch and premiere on YouTube, visually interpreting the song's quiet emotional depth. It will also feature on select global radio stations, bringing this Eastern masterpiece to living rooms and headphones across continents.
'This is not just a song,' says Aninda Bose, 'but an attempt to imagine what Tagore may have dreamt — not just for Bengal, but for the world. It is music beyond borders, and emotion beyond language.'
Bongo Boy Records, under the ownership of Monique Grimme, is a U.S. label well-known for amplifying global voices and supporting numerous GRAMMY® artists and submissions. With an eclectic catalog representing a wide variety of genres, Bongo Boy Records continually showcases the creativity and vibrancy of musicians worldwide. The label provides listeners with a fresh soundscape that connects cultures and celebrates the boundless spirit of musical artistry.
A True Global Collaboration
Tumi Robe Nirobe is more than music — it is a cultural meditation. This project unites musicians from five countries, blending Indian classical roots with European chamber textures and cinematic winds to create a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive:
Together, this ensemble delivers a sonic homage to Tagore that honors the original while transforming it for a global audience — embodying the very spirit of world music and shared human emotion.

Awesome JAWS Poster Art From Artist Tyler Stout Pays Tribute To Quint — GeekTyrant
I had to share this great Jaws print with you that was created by artist Tyler Stout. This was a limited edition Comic-Con exclusive of only 150 prints. They sold out at the event, but I managed to score one, and this is a beautiful peice! The poster was created for CODA Gallery. Quint, the rugged shark hunter from, is one of the most unforgettable characters in cinematic history. Played masterfully by Robert Shaw, Quint is the epitome of grit and resilience, an old-school seaman with a weathered exterior and a deep-rooted trauma that fuels his obsession. What makes Quint such a powerful character isn't just his fearlessness or bravado, but the depth of his past, especially the haunting USS Indianapolis monologue that reveals the true horror he's lived through. He's not just a shark hunter; he's a man shaped by survival, driven by vengeance, and unwilling to back down. His intensity, gruff charm, and unwavering determination make him a compelling force in the story and the emotional anchor of the film's tension.
