Who are Beatmosphere? Meet Bangladesh’s representatives at Eurovision Asia 2026

On Saturday 14 November, the One Bangkok Forum in Bangkok, Thailand, becomes the centre of the Asian music world as it hosts the first edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Asia.

With Woody Milintachinda and Cindy Bishop as hosts, it is a historic event bringing together 11 countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam) in a competition that aims to bring the spirit of the Eurovision format to Asia while celebrating the continent’s cultural, linguistic and musical diversity.

With acts from different genres, backgrounds and artistic approaches, this first edition sets out to be an international showcase for new voices and sounds from one of the most diverse regions on the planet.

With the big night almost here, we take a closer look at the careers of the acts hoping to win. In a series of profiles, we introduce the artists taking part in this historic contest: their origins, their musical careers, their biggest hits and the stories behind each entry. 11 countries, 11 songs and one stage: Bangkok, where a new chapter in the history of international song contests is about to begin.

This time, we meet Beatmosphere, who represent Bangladesh at Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 with “Tumi Ele” (You Came, in Bengali).

Meet Beatmosphere, Bangladesh’s beatbox pioneers

Beatmosphere are one of the most distinctive musical projects on the contemporary Bangladeshi scene. With roots dating back to 2009, this all-male a cappella group has built its own artistic identity through vocal experimentation, beatbox, harmonies and body percussion. Their approach to music has allowed them to develop a show in which the voices do not simply sing melodies but recreate virtually every sound of a conventional band.

The Bangladeshi group are pioneers in blending a cappella music, beatbox and performance art. With more than 15 years behind them, Beatmosphere now face one of the biggest challenges of their career: Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026, where they compete with “Tumi Ele”, an entry that turns the human voice into a full orchestra.

In 2026, the collective reached one of the biggest milestones of their career: becoming Bangladesh‘s representatives at the first edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Asia. Beatmosphere will aim to bring their musical personality to an international stage and show what vocal music from Bangladesh can do.

Their participation is also a chance to give visibility to a musical discipline that still has only a niche presence at major televised events, despite its huge creative and theatrical potential.

Beatmosphere’s origins: a project born in 2009

The Beatmosphere story traces back to 2009, when Moktadir Dewan, known as BeatBaksho, began exploring the idea of bringing voices together. Beatmosphere developed as an a cappella and beatbox group in 2015. From the outset, the project went for a formula rarely seen in the Bangladeshi music industry: doing without traditional instruments and building complete songs using only the voice and the body.

Over the years, Beatmosphere established themselves as pioneers on the Bangladeshi music scene. Their artistic concept combines elements of the choral tradition with techniques from beatbox culture, a movement that uses the mouth, the throat and various breathing techniques to produce rhythmic and musical sounds.

What sets the group apart is their ability to recreate every component of a music production without any instruments or electronic devices. The basslines, drums, melodies, rhythmic sequences and even certain electronic effects all come exclusively from the members’ own performance.

This philosophy turns every performance into a display of creativity and coordination. The voices are spread across different ranges and roles, building layers of sound that complement each other until they reach a musical scale far greater than the number of performers on stage might suggest.

Yet Beatmosphere do not see a cappella merely as an exercise in vocal precision. Their shows also include theatrical elements, movement, storytelling, humour, character work and audience interaction. As a result, their performances take on a theatrical dimension that goes beyond a conventional concert and aim to keep a direct connection with the audience.

This mix has allowed the collective to develop a recognisable identity, in which sonic experimentation sits alongside entertainment and expressiveness. Their goal is to show that the human voice can work as a virtually limitless musical instrument.

Nine members, one collective identity

In their usual line-up, Beatmosphere have nine members: Ishtiyak Zobayer (Zardo), Sayed Ahnaf Tahmid (Glizmo), Sidratul Mursalin Bhasha (Bhasha), Mahi Bin Ashraful (Sykoverse), Moktadir Dewan (BeatBaksho), Mahi Hossain Khan (Invalíd), Khandaker Shams (Anarchy), Prachyo Priyodip (Dippox) and Rafiun Nabi Nahin (RafTeknix).

Each member brings their own vocal and stage qualities, which together build the collective’s distinctive sound world. The division of roles is especially important in a group like this, as every voice has a specific job to do for the whole to work like a full band.

For Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026, the group is performing as a six-piece. Ishtiyak Zobayer (Zardo) and Sayed Ahnaf Tahmid (Glizmo) take on lead vocals and harmonies. Sidratul Mursalin Bhasha (Bhasha) and Mahi Bin Ashraful (Sykoverse) reinforce the vocal harmonies. Founder Moktadir Dewan (BeatBaksho) provides harmonies, vocal bass and baritone parts. Finally, Mahi Hossain Khan (Invalíd) handles beatbox and vocal percussion, one of the key pieces in recreating the rhythmic elements of their songs.

This reduction from nine to six members is due to the contest rules, which limit the number of performers on stage to six. As a result, Khandaker Shams (Anarchy), Prachyo Priyodip (Dippox) and Rafiun Nabi Nahin (RafTeknix) will not be part of the performance in Bangkok.

Despite this adjustment, Beatmosphere keep the essential elements of their identity: harmonies, vocal bass, human percussion and a collective performance in which every member is indispensable to the end result.

The Eurovision Asia adventure

2026 has been a turning point for Beatmosphere. On 22 September, the group was announced as one of the ten acts in Voice of Bangladesh, the national selection organised by broadcaster NTV together with entertainment platform Bongo to choose Bangladesh’s first representative at the Eurovision Song Contest Asia.

Their entry was “Tumi Ele” (তুমি এলে), whose title translates as “You Came”. The song was written by members of the group, among them Moktadir Dewan, Mahi Bin Ashraful, Khandaker Shams and Sidratul Mursalin Bhasha.

In the end, Beatmosphere beat the rest of the field and were crowned winners of the national selection. The victory earned them the right to represent Bangladesh at Eurovision Asia 2026, as well as a cash prize and a record deal.

The win was especially meaningful for the collective: an entry built on the absence of instruments and on exploring the capabilities of the human voice came out on top in a competition that brought together different styles and musical sensibilities.

Their entry now has the chance to show an international audience the musical discipline that is the main distinguishing feature of their career: making music without instruments. It steers clear of the usual formulas of commercial pop and puts vocal performance at the heart of the show.

The group will also have to prove that an a cappella act can compete on equal terms with entries backed by instrumental production, choreography and large-scale staging. The six-performer limit is an added challenge, but also an opportunity to distil their musical identity into a tighter performance.

Discography and career

Although their international profile is closely tied to their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest Asia, Beatmosphere have a career stretching back more than 15 years before the contest.

Among their original releases before “Tumi Ele” is the single “Shob Kichu Bhalo Lage” (সব কিছু ভালো লাগে). Their repertoire and artistic concept reflect a commitment to vocal versatility, experimentation and the search for new possibilities within a cappella music. Rather than simply covering songs with choral harmonies, Beatmosphere offer a complete performance in which each member helps build the different elements of the production.

A project that aims to cross musical borders

Beatmosphere’s arrival at Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 is about much more than a band taking part in an international competition. It also represents the projection of a way of making music that champions the artistic potential of the human body as an instrument.

From its origins in Moktadir Dewan‘s ideas in 2009 to its win at Voice of Bangladesh, the collective has kept an identity based on vocal experimentation and teamwork. Now, with “Tumi Ele”, they have the chance to present that philosophy to millions of viewers and help Bangladeshi music find new audiences.

Their entry will be one of the most unusual of the first Eurovision Asia: nine artists in their usual line-up, six on the Bangkok stage and one creative premise, proving that you do not need instruments to create a complete musical experience.

“Tumi Ele”: Beatmosphere’s entry for Bangladesh at Eurovision Asia 2026

Beatmosphere represent Bangladesh at Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 with “Tumi Ele” (তুমি এলে). The song, performed in Bengali, was written by five members of Beatmosphere: Ishtiyak Zobayer, Khandaker Shams, Mahi Bin Ashraful, Moktadir Dewan and Sidratul Mursalin Bhasha.

“Tumi Ele”, meaning “You Came”, is about love as a force that can completely transform a person’s life. It captures the arrival of someone special who fills a world that once seemed empty or monotonous with light, hope, excitement and colour.

The lyrics describe a person who has become the centre of the narrator’s thoughts and feelings. Their presence is everywhere: at first light, in the golden afternoons and even through the night. This is someone who gives the narrator strength, stirs deep emotions and gives every moment a new meaning.

One of the loveliest metaphors compares this person to the rays of the sun peeping out from behind a curtain. It symbolises how love breaks through emotional barriers and fills a life that once seemed black and white with colour.

The song also speaks of waiting, the longing to find that person and the joy of imagining them even when they still seem far away. The letters sent through the clouds represent that yearning for someone who may not yet be physically present but already holds an important place in the heart.

It captures the moment when all that waiting and those wishes are finally answered. The arrival of that person ends the emotional loneliness and turns a dreamed-of love into something real.

In essence, “Tumi Ele” is a celebration of love that arrives after a long wait and transforms the way we see the world. It is about finding someone whose mere presence can bring back our sense of wonder, make us feel whole and turn grey days into a life full of colour.
