EVENING OF TAGORE SONGS

Shuvra Debnath to perform at AFD tomorrow

An evening of Rabindra Sangeet (Tagore songs) by singer Shuvra Debnath will be held tomorrow evening at Auditorium Nouvelle Vague of Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) in Dhanmondi of the capital.

Mohit Chakrabarti writes in the book ‘Songs Eternal’, “The songs of Rabindranath Tagore are the songs eternal. They live forever within us and perhaps beyond us. We live, love, sing, cry, dance and die with these songs only to live again. What makes Tagore’s songs so appealing and eternal? Perhaps because they are attuned with mankind anywhere and everywhere.”

Since her early childhood, Shuvra Debnath has been walking the path of music, starting with receiving lessons from the distinguished artiste Dilip Das and later from Murad Ali, Lili Islam, Sadi Mohammad and Rezwana Choudhury Bannya.

Talking about her works she confessed, “Despite most of the audio companies do not treat Rabindra Sangeet albums in the way they treat other pop albums, I hold a solid confidence that the trend of Rabindra Sangeet will see a rise.”

In addition to being a professional teacher, Debnath regularly performs in local and international shows. She has received awards and accolades from Egypt, Nepal and Turkey, among others. “Music is my life and I will cherish Rabindra Sangeet as long as I live!” concludes Debnath.

Where: AFD, 26 Mirpur Road, Dhanmondi

When: 6:30pm, tomorrow
