West Bengal’s popular singer Nachiketa Chakraborty is all set to mesmerise his countless listeners in Bangladesh after a long hiatus, marking the 30th anniversary of his iconic music career.
The eminent artist, widely revered for his fan-favourite tracks such as “She Prothom Prem Amar Nilanjana,” “Sonali Prantore,” “Jokhon Somoy Thomke Daray” and more, will perform at a music event on November 10, Friday, at the Krishibid Institution Bangladesh (KIB) auditorium in the capital.
With the release of his debut album “Ei Besh Bhalo Aachhi” in 1993, the renowned Bengali singer, songwriter, and composer embarked on a triumphant musical career, winning over avid admirers in West Bengal and Bangladesh.
This event titled “Nachiketa Live in Dhaka with Joy Shahriar,” will mark the 30th anniversary of his musical journey, organised by Aajob Karkhana and Aajob Records. The revered singer also confirmed this event on his official social media handles.
“In 1993, Nachiketa’s debut solo album “Ei Besh Bhalo Aachhi” was released, and his 30-year musical journey was commemorated with a musical event in Kolkata. Back in June this year I went to Kolkata to work with him, and I proposed the event to him as we grew up listening to him and he has a large fan following in Bangladesh,” Aajob Karkhana and Aajob Records founder and CEO Joy Shahriar told UNB.
“He then agreed to perform and we are now just a few days away to witness him performing for our audiences live in Dhaka. I will open the event and perform which will be a great honour for me as an artist and this will be a remarkable achievement for my career,” Joy Shahriar, also known to music lovers in Bangladesh for many of his popular songs including “Shotti Bolchhi,” expressed his excitement.
“Given the venue’s limited capacity, we had to adjust the pricing accordingly. Nevertheless, we also wanted to provide our younger listeners with an amazing experience, so we put up two exclusive student packages which they can get at the venue by presenting their ID cards from their educational institution,” Joy Shahriar told UNB.
The event will welcome the audience from 5.00 pm onwards, and the event will start from 6:30 pm while the audiences can enter the venue till 8:30 pm.
Partners for the event are Toffee, GoZayaan, Universal Medical College Hospital, aamarPay, Nescafe, Kazi Food and Aajob Prokash.
