Kolkata music industry is more advanced: Bangladeshi singer

India Blooms News Service | | Jan 11, 2016, at 07:32 am

Kolkata, Jan 11 (IBNS) Popular Bangladeshi singer Sahina feels the music scenario in Kolkata is more advanced than her country.

She feels the music industry in Kolkata is more advanced than Dhaka though the soul remains the same - of loving the language and culture.

"I feel like this is also my home as the language, the people, the atmosphere and the warmth of people are similar," Sahina tells IBNS at the launch of her album 'Durbine Chokh' at the Anderson Club here recently.

"Again I am happy that the visits and cultural exchanges and collaborations have moved ahead a lot. The past barrier has ceased to exist," the singer says.

"While a lot many singers from our country are performing here, the opposite is also taking place. The TV programmes look like the same," Sahina says.

The combined audience of two sides speaking the same language can be any singer's dream, Sahina says, adding her next solo album will come out in Bangladesh this year.

Director Srijit Mukheerjee, present on the occasion, says like the names of Abbas Uddin, Salil Chowdhury, who don't belong to any geographical barrier, there can't be any barbed fencing on music.

Srijit also talked about the need for bringing out Bengali films from the closet of extra-maritals and drawing rooms to the multi-pronged region of period drama, displacement, partition, horror and science fiction.

The album has eight tracks by the singer - the title track Durbine Chokh, Ghum Bhanga Bhor, Adure Megh, Mora Saiana, Piya Bina, Kake Tumi Mon, Barsha Elo and Maa.
