New Bangla Music

Bangladesh’s  small music industry has definitely improved, as it finally attracts the young Bengali generation around the world.  We will always have the inspiring classics, like Rabindra Sangeet, which express the deep meaning of music, but there is also this newly emerging generation of talent which is slowly expanding more genres with amazing qualitative effort, both vocally and instrumentally.

Popular Bengali singers like Habib Wahid and Hridoy Khan have grasped the public’s attention with their new soothing tunes.  Bangladeshis abroad that have never really taken the time to listen to bangla songs before have suddenly found modern tunes of today’s new singers to be unique. 

We only hope to see the melodious world of Bengali music thrive over time with the young and talented generation of today.  In order for music to thrive, new voices and tunes need to be exposed, which is already taking place, and not only in Bangladesh but also in the western world.  I have just the perfect example for that.  Two names.  Fahim Aziz and Sajid Sarker. 

Fahim Aziz is a talented Bangladeshi singer and song writer living in Canada whose first song was “Gopone Dekchi Tomai”, composed by the brilliant Sajid Sarker.  After getting fantastic reviews from their first song from both Bangladeshis and non-bangladeshis all around the world, they continued to create more unique and melodious tunes which led to their next song "Majhi" and "Na bola Kotha".  Now they have finally released an album called Shihoron, which is combined with several other wonderful artists and heart-warming tracks, all composed by Sajid Sarker.    

Fahim Aziz is one of several young Bangladeshi artists living abroad yet showing true passion for bangla music with meaningful songs which many of us can relate our lives to.  It’s quite hard to find a Bengali song with both good tune and good words nowadays.  Either the music is amazing but the lyrics are meaningless, or vice versa.   I do believe that Fahim and Sajid are doing an impressive job at keeping both good lyrics and music.

Visit their official facebook group:    http://www.facebook.com/groups/116320272489/

And also http://www.facebook.com/Shihoron.Sajid to check out their demos. 

I recommend everybody (especially here in Sweden, since many of you are not aware of Fahim and Sajid) to listen to their album.  The music comes from the heart. Trust me, it will not disappoint you.
