Romanian dance pop act Akcent performed for the Dhaka audience at Hotel Le Meridien on Thursday.
The event was organized by Rendezvous Private Ltd, a unique concern of A Kabir R Group.
The show began with a fashion show, featuring the leading models of Dhaka, choreographed by veteran ramp model Syed Ruma. The designs were by fashion designer Manj.
Everyone in attendance began cheering euphorically as soon as Adrian Claudiu Sina came on stage. Soon after he started performing, they were joined by the models from the fashion show.
Sina, who founded the band in 1999 but is the sole remaining member, kept the crowd entertained by singing some of his famous hits, such as “Dilemma,” “Love Stoned,” “My Passion,” “Stay With Me,” and “Push.”
Sina repeatedly said in between songs that he loved Bangladesh, its hospitality, its people and his friend Ashinul Kabir Rajon, who is at the helm of A Kabir R Group.
The most memorable moment of the concert was when he brandished Bangladesh’s flag, and asked everyone to take photos of him. His energy, enthusiasm, and engagement will be remembered by the Dhaka audience for a long time.
The sound system for a party as loud as the Akcent concert was on point. The visuals were also well appreciated. Some of the projector screens showed music videos of Akcent.
The concert ended at 10:30pm, and had maximum security to ensure the safety of the audience and the lead performer.
