Guitars have been the pillar in reshaping the ‘80s neoclassical era in Bangladesh. One of the most integral parts of reshaping this era is the invaluable contribution of one man. A man who gave hope and strength to a number of generations. A man who proved that even with six strings on a board in your hand, there is light at the end of the tunnel. In their latest campaign, Shwapno celebrates the life of Niloy Das, the legendary guitar guru of Bangladesh.
THE REMEMBRANCE
This campaign is more of a celebration of a man’s life’s work, rather than a promotional advert. During the entire duration of the campaign, we go through a journey of remembrance. A remembrance intertwined with a profound sense of gratitude. For Niloy Das was not just a mere guitar teacher, he was a savior. A ray of hope for many, holding his torch in the form of a guitar. The campaign takes us to his old, worn-out home in hopes of enlightening us about his legend.
THE GRATITUDE
Gratitude. The entire campaign can be summed up by this one simple word. The campaign starts off with a bold, yet nostalgic voice reminding us what Niloy Das has left behind. His strength, his undying love for music, and his sacrifices. Imagine a guy wearing a denim jacket, with a Rockstar hat, and jeans in the 1980s. That is what Niloy Das was. An epitome of rock n’ roll.
