Folk rock band Porobashi will perform live this evening at the EMK Center in Dhanmondi.
Porobashi is a collaboration between singer-songwriter Sumel Chowdhury and guitarist-composer Victor Das, who have been performing together since 2001 as the members of band Shunno. Throughout 2004 and 2005, the band slowly got inactive and finally ended all activities.
In 2008, Victor and Sumel together worked for acclaimed director Nurul Alam Atique’s film Dubshatar. The reunion of the two old friends gave birth to Porobashi. Their first studio album Shunyo Dia released last year and received positive reviews from the music lovers here.
In today’s performance, Porobashi will be accompanied by a number of celebrated musicians: Buno on guitars, Bart on bass, Nazrul on dhol and Pantha Kanai on drums.
