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