He was also the founder of the music school Sangeet Bhaban in 1983. Sharafi also worked in Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation between 19. From 19, he was general manager of the Pakistan Gramophone Company Ltd. Sharafi was a founding programme director of Bangladesh Television between 19. During the Bangladesh Language Movement, Tagore music was also banned. It is at the same time his guru, Shubho Guhothakurta, made a tremendous impact in his development as an artiste.Īs a result of his beliefs in communism, he was banned from the state-run radio Bangladesh Betar, which hurt his musical career. When Sharafi joined Indian Peoples Theatre (IPTA), celebrated singers Suchitra Mitra, Hemanta Mukherjee and Debabrata Biswas frequented the organisation and that's how he rubbed shoulders with the stalwarts and his interest in Tagore songs was encouraged. During this period of his life, he became a member of Popular Theatre Association, which in Bengali is referred to as Bharatiya Gononatya Songha.
