‘Voice Fair Bangla Band,’ a local band, hit the right note at a show at Baishakhi Mancha of Shaheed Quarter Park in the district town. The event, on February 13, was held to herald in Falgun, the first month of spring. The show, titled ‘Falgun Open Concert’, drew a huge audience as the function was held a day before Valentine’s Day.
The concert opened with a popular Baul song. Later the artistes rendered more than a dozen songs, including songs welcoming Falgun. Vocalist Delwar Hossain enthralled the huge audience gathered on the bank of the Old Brahmaputra river.
Advocate Mahmud Al Noor Tareq inaugurated the concert. A discussion was also held before the concert with advocate Abdul Muttaqim in the chair. Among others, MA Quasem and Mohammad Shahab Uddin spoke on the occasion as special guests. The speakers expressed the need for the younger generation to promote Bengali culture. Bengali culture, enriched by diverse art forms, could be a role model for other nations– if it was nurtured, added the speakers. Open concerts such as this, they concluded, could be a meeting ground for people from different age groups to uphold their traditions.
Titu played the guitar, while Babu was on the drums. The concert lasted till evening. The sponsors of the concert were Room-III, MM Computer, Menz Look, Photo Max, Prodip Sound, Sathi Decorator, Shanta Modelling Studio and Heart Touch.
