♦️ Songs of Rabindranath Tagore ♦️

To celebrate 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence, Bengal Foundation organised Srijone O Shekore, a 5-day arts festival, from 14 to 18 December 2021, at Bengal Shilpalay, Dhaka. Supported by BRAC Bank, the festival featured performing arts, visual art, crafts, books, film, readings, and events for children. Over 300 singers-musicians-dancers-craftspersons-artists performed on stage and engaged in various kinds of programming at the festival, over the five days.

Aji Bangladesher hridoy hote (You have emerged from the heart of Bangladesh, my Mother, in all your glory and splendour) is an iconic patriotic song composed by Rabindranath Tagore. The song is included in the Swadesh chapter, a classification devised by the poet himself. Set to Raga Bibhas-Baul, the poem was first published in ‘Bhandar’ in 1905. A rendition of the song was performed by Bulbul Islam at Ganer Jhornatolay on the first day of the Srijone O Shekore arts festival. The artist was accompanied on stage by Enamul Haque Omar on the Tabla, Asit Biswas in the Esraj and Binod Roy in the keyboard.

Bulbul Islam’s powerful and resonant voice delivers Rabindra Sangeet with clear diction and great intonational awareness. The artist trained in Rabindra Sangeet at Chhayanaut Sangeet Bidyayatan in the eighties, under the close supervision and mentorship of Waheedul Haque. He later had the opportunity to train briefly with Sailajaranjan Majumdar, Nilima Sen and Kanika Banerjee. Islam is closely associated with Jatiya Rabindrasangeet Sammilan Parishat.
