‘Ei Somoy’ features 7 underappreciated bands

To celebrate the fiery young generation of our county, a concert titled "Ei Somoy: Oddhay Ek'' was held at Libaration War Musuem in Agargaon yesterday evening. Popular band "Meghdol" headlined the concert with six emerging bands from our country.

Apart from Meghdol, bands like Avaash, Shonar Bangla Circus, Bangla Five, Shohojia, Shohortoli and Apekkhik rocked the evening with their popular songs.

Organised by Acoustica, the concert started from 3pm and continued till 9 pm.

The concert started with the band Apekkhik, followed by Bangla Five. They sang all their popular songs including "Left Right" and "Confusion".

"The speciality of this concert is that the audience came at the invitation of the musicians.  The ticket price of the concert will directly go to the bands. Although this time we are doing the concert indoors, we have plans to do it outdoors on a broader scale next time," said Sina Hasan, vocalist of Bangla Five.

 Known for their poetic lyrics, Shohortoli band cast their magic spell on the audience with their thoughtful songs.

After Shohortoli, Shohojia aroused the heartaches in youth with their hit song "Choto Pakhi Choto Pakhi".

Tanzir Tuhin performed with Avaash, followed by the performance of Shohojia. He sang a cover song "Prithibita Naki Choto Hotey Hotey" by Mohiner Ghoraguli.

"I thank the organizers of this concert for taking such a great initiative. I hope the young people in our country grow up into wonderful human beings," said Tuhin.

The concert ended with a beautiful performance by Meghdol. They sang "Esho Amar Shohore," "Kichhu Bishad Hok Pakhi," "Nirban," and ended the show with their latest track "E Hawa".

The organiser of the concert, Saikat Biswas Tutul said, "This is our journey with some of the underrated bands that have come to establish themselves in the music arena along with the popular bands. This time we did the concert with some psychedelic bands."
