The songs of life | Farzana Wahid Shayan | TEDxDhaka

It’s a talk+performance to heal your soul. Shayan’s music talks about peace, pluralism, tolerance and personal and social values. She talks about living a mellow and harmonious life.

Farzana Wahid, popularly known as Shayan is an eclectic musician, lyricist and composer who can only be described in one word as 'different'! Each of Shayan's songs is born out of a story or an idea that picks your brain and moves your emotions, they talk of random tales, politics, freedom, art or culture. Often her songs are more of statements of an activist rather than popular numbers. They keep breaking barriers and transcending from music to literature, to slogans and posters.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
