Krishnokoli

Bengal Music releases two albums

Bengal Music released two brand new albums. In addition, almost all the listeners believed that it was not just a regular release. It was a cautionary signal to all others who are producing and releasing below standard albums. It was a wake up call to those conventional moneymaking producers to bring out creative albums with soulful lyrics and tasteful tunes.

 

The event released compilations of Kazi Krishnakali Islam titled ‘Shurje Badhi Basha’ and Tanveer Alam Shajib’s ‘Bari Kothay Balo’ at Hotel Abakash on Sunday.

 

The name Krishnakali immediately reminded me of the song Krishnokoli ami tarey boli…. Not only did she have the charm of the imaginary belle in that ballad but also her deep and atmospheric vocals captured the very essence of rivers of rhythm - an ambience of fulfilment.

 

When she performed her first track singing Aaj jhor bhalobasha, anande bheshe jawa….Dubi Dubi, bheshe uthi from the album, live for the invited guests; for many, it was that sinking feeling! Moreover, she was easily labelled as a stand-alone singer - one whose vocals complements the instrumentation rather than vice versa.

 

Her mesmerising performance of the track ‘Hatath rod’ was not only very humble but the lyric was so moving that it literally released bursts of ecstatic feelings.

 

Professor Doctor Liaquat Ali, speaking on the occasion described Krishnakali’s songs rich in well-crafted lyrics, magnetic vocal tunes, and elegant composition. He recalled the memory of being deeply moved the first time listening to the songs.

 

Next on-stage was Shajib with his debut album. His performance was as hugely applauded. The song Palabi Pala’s live performance was so enjoyable that it reminded the listeners of the famous drama artiste Shankar Shawjal’s comment about Shajib – his songs seeks original roots and depicts true cultural tradition.
