Tahsan will perform in a “celebration” concert today at the Russian Cultural Centre in Dhaka, promoting his latest album “Uddeshyo Nei.”
Talking about the concert, Tahsan said: “We see a worldwide custom where a singer or a band goes on a concert tour following the release of their new album. Though our country has yet to see such a tour, I plan to arrange a tour following the release of my album.”
“However, what I am doing is not a full-fledged concert tour; rather, we are calling it a celebration concert as I have received much appreciation about the album from the listeners.”
The celebrated musician announced that in future he would arrange a concert tour. He is currently planning another celebration concert for “Uddeshyo Nei” in Chittagong soon.
Before Tahsan gets on stage today, two young bands named Sin and Silent Tribe will perform at the concert. Tahsan selected the bands himself via Facebook, where he announced to let the performers who were most adept to cover his songs to appear on stage with him.
A total of nine bands responded to the artist’s offer, and the aforementioned bands eventually won the opportunity.
“I feel the youth bands struggle to find a platform to show their talent. As my first momentous stage performance happened because of a similar initiative taken by the legendary Azam Khan, I feel it is my responsibility to help the young musicians who need the support to flourish,” Tahsan said.
Today’s concert is first after the album – also Tahsan’s sixth solo album – was released in July 2014.
