Jibaner Gan

Jibaner Gan is a collaborative instrumental composition featured as the seventh track on the album Mahima. Released on June 17, 2003, by Riverboat Records, the album presents a fusion of Indian classical music and global slide guitar traditions. The track runs for 4 minutes and 52 seconds.

Indian slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya and American guitarist Bob Brozman co-performed and co-composed the piece. Bhattacharya contributed his signature Hindustani slide guitar technique, while Brozman incorporated elements of blues, Hawaiian, and world music styles. The composition reflects the album’s broader exploration of cross-cultural musical dialogue, blending raga-inspired phrasing with Brozman’s rhythmic and harmonic approaches.

Mahima was issued in CD format under Riverboat Records, a label associated with World Music Network. The album received attention for its innovative pairing of Bhattacharya’s Indian classical roots with Brozman’s eclectic guitar expertise. Specific recording locations, production personnel, and additional session details remain undocumented in widely available sources.

The title Jibaner Gan translates from Bengali as \"Song of Life,\" though the track itself is purely instrumental. The piece exemplifies the artists’ shared emphasis on improvisation and melodic interplay, characteristic of their collaborative work during the early 2000s. No official music videos, alternate versions, or live recordings of the track have been verified in public records.
