"Awaaz Utha" (Bengali: আওয়াজ উডা, lit. 'Raise the voice') is a Bangladeshi hip hop protest song composed in the context of the July revolution, written, composed and voiced by Hannan Hossain Shimul and mixed and mastered by SnareByt.[1]
The song released during the quota reform movement in Bangladesh. The song's composer, Hannan, was arrested by the police on 25 July from Narayanganj, a week after the release of the song.[3] New York-based non-profit organisation Artist at Risk Connection (ARC) condemned the arrest.[4]
The song became very popular with the audience around the quota reform movement.[3][5] In just 13 days, it received over six million views on YouTube, making it the fifth most trending song on YouTube in Bangladesh.[4] Hannan later performed the song in the "Spirits of July" concert on 21 December 2024.[6]
