Moheener Ghoraguli (মহীনের ঘোড়াগুলি, literally "Moheen's Horses") was a Bengali independent music group from Kolkata, formed in the 1970s during a period of stagnation in Bangla music, when commercial film songs were the dominant market force, the lyrics of Gautam Chattopadhyay were radically new. They were of a very personal or social nature, similar to the urban folk movement led by Bob Dylan in the 60s. Though they were almost unknown in their time, in recent years they have undergone a critical re-evaluation much like the Velvet Underground. In recognition of this renewed interest, Gautam released a compilation of Moheener Ghoraguli covers by contemporary artists, Aabaar Bochhor Kuri Pore in 1995. They have since come to be considered unrecognised pioneers of the jibonmukhi style and ethics, decades ahead of their times.
