Nam Tar Mallicka

Nam Tar Mallicka is a Bengali vocal composition performed by Kartick Kumar. The track appears as the fourteenth entry on the album Amra Dui Bhai, released on 1 April 1985. The recording spans 3 minutes and 22 seconds and circulates primarily in digital media formats. No commercial label or production house is officially credited with its distribution.

The album Amra Dui Bhai features Kartick Kumar as the sole credited artist. The release date aligns with the Bengali New Year period, a culturally significant time for regional music publications in West Bengal. The track title translates roughly to \"In the Name of the Boatman,\" though the lyrical content and thematic focus remain undocumented in available sources. The composition style suggests influences from Bengali folk traditions, particularly the Bhatiali or Baul genres, which frequently explore riverine and spiritual motifs.

Kartick Kumar’s vocal delivery in Nam Tar Mallicka employs a melodic structure characteristic of late 20th-century Bengali folk-revival recordings. The instrumentation, if present, is not detailed in existing records. The album itself holds a place in the broader discourse of 1980s Bengali non-film music, a period marked by experimental fusions of traditional and contemporary sounds. No reissues, remasters, or live renditions of the track are verified in public archives.

The absence of a formal label association indicates possible independent production or distribution through regional networks. The digital preservation of the track suggests later conversion from analog sources, though the original recording medium remains unconfirmed. Kartick Kumar’s broader discography outside this album is sparsely documented, limiting contextual analysis of his artistic trajectory.
