A video uploaded by IndicSociety on X showed club-goers in Kolkata dancing to the song ‘Hamba Hamba’ inside Roots, a nightclub in the city. ‘Hamba Hamba’ an imitation of the bellowing of cows, taken from Mamata Banerjee’s speech in Murshidabad delivered ahead of the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly elections, has now been remixed into a techno number that has got the city dancing, especially after the Trinamool Congress’s (TMC) loss in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly elections 2026.Looks like Calcutta night clubs have turned @MamataOfficial's political jeering into dance floor remixes 😂Nothing screams peak rebellion more than trolling Didi through club beats Loud, unapologetic & celebrating like Didi's farewell celebrations pic.twitter.com/D0v3trzjFK— Adit (@IndicSociety) May 12, 2026The song was uploaded in January 2024 on Apple Music, JioSaavn and Spotify by Bajania Ghar, a music production house whose Instagram bio describes it as a “music production house dedicated to discovering and uplifting new, raw singing and songwriting talent from across the country”.Over the past few years, Bengal’s political soundscape has given rise to a strange but sticky new genre: political techno remixes built on repetitive choruses, meme-friendly punchlines and danceable beats, often remixed by local DJs and amplified through reels and short-form videos. The trend arguably began in 2021 with Khela Hobe (let the games begin), the Trinamool Congress anthem written by their youth leader Debangshu Bhattacharya and remixed by DJ Bulbul. Originally adapted from a slogan popularised by Bangladeshi politician Shamim Osman, the phrase quickly escaped politics and entered everyday speech. Since then, songs like ‘Hamba Hamba’, ‘Mach Chor’ (fish thief) and ‘File Chor’ (file thief)have followed a similar template, using catchy hooks and direct political mockery to travel rapidly across social media.
