Four-day CD launch ends
Robab Rosan
A four-day CD launching programme organised by Bengal Foundation ended on Monday with the release of Sharmin Sathi Islam’s album on Nazrul Sangeet.
Journalist Abul Momen unveiled the cover of the album titled ‘Sandhya Godhuli’ as chief guest.
Abul Momen in his speech said that Nazrul’s songs had brought a new trend in the world of Bangla songs in terms of diversity and richness.
He also said that for political reasons a divided Nazrul has been presenting to us since the creation of Pakistan. He condemned, ‘Unfortunately, the tradition is still going on.’
About the gayaki or singing style of Sathi, Momen said that the singer can present the underlying spirit of Nazrul’s songs with her natural approach.
He added, ‘We can enjoy the hidden pathos of Nazrul Sageet in the voice of Sathi.’
The singer began her performance with the song ‘Gagane gahane sandhya tara’ and continued with other numbers including ‘Pathik esechho naki’, ‘Amay nohe go’, ‘Surer bani mala diye’, ‘Sandhya gadhuli lagane’, ‘Gabhir nishithe ghum bhenge’, ‘Elo Krishna’.
Sathi took the compositions of the songs from the old gramophone records to keep in touch of originality of the songs.
Her presentations of Nazrul Sangeet were also appreciated by the audience.
The signer was accompanied with Enamul Haque Omar on the tabla, Iftekhar Hossain Sohel on keyboard, Almas Ali on behala, Daulatur Rahman on guitar and Nazmul Alam Jharu on mandira.
