Paying Homage to the National Poet

Loved by millions, for being more than just a fire-brand poet, Kazi Nazrul Islam symbolized people's will to prevail and succeed in the face of adversity. His words spoke of peace and encouraged all to rise up above life's challenge. To grace the occasion of his death anniversary, eminent Nazrul Sangeet exponent and Star Arts & Entertainment editor Sadya Afreen Mallick is planning to organise an event on National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam at the end of this month, bringing prominent Nazrul singers of the country together to film music videos of two of Nazrul's songs-- "Joy  houk Shotter Joy" and "Dao Shourjo Dao Dhoirjo" -songs that will have a wider appeal globally. The videos will be shot and released for the mass audience at home and abroad on August 27, 2016.
