Samina Chowdhury, one of the most popular figures in the Bangladesh music industry is releasing a solo album paying tribute to Tagore and Nazrul in the same album. This is the first time the versatile singer is lending her voice to Nazrul Geeti. The music arrangement of the album is done by the popular musician Bappa Mazumder and Ibrar Tipu. The title of the album has not been finalised yet.
Work has begun on the unique compilation and in a conversation with the Dhaka Tribune, Samina states: “I love to sing and it is for my listeners that I am singing songs of Nazrul, they are my all time inspiration. This is the first time my album will have tracks of the legendary ‘Rebel Poet.’ Prior to this, I presented Nazrul Geeti on television and other programmes.
There are ten tracks in the album, which includes Nazrul’s ‘Jago Nari Jago’ and many more.”
She also added: “I sing from my soul, I do not face any challenge or competition while singing, I feel liberated and rejuvenated.”
Samina’s album of Rabindro Sangeet “Tomar Khola Hawa” was released in 2009 and two more of her works, “Puspo Bristi” and “Phool Fote Phool Jhore 2” will release in 2014.
