Ongoing trends in music - positive and negative
Celebrated singer Kumar Bishwajit is now appearing on a talent hunt for children titled Khudey Gaanraj as a judge. His previous experiences as a judge on the first two seasons of the hugely popular talent hunt Close Up 1 were positive — Biswajit’s expert analyses were appreciated by the contestants and the audience. The artiste however is reluctant to judge contests that often. It was his interest in and concerns for the talented youngsters that persuaded him to join the show Khudey Gaanraj. The show has already become quite popular among children and adults. The Daily Star recently caught up with the singer about the show, his next solo album and more.
“I’m sort of reluctant about appearing on too many talent hunts. First of all, it’s a bit tiring, as it continues for months. My personal schedule gets disrupted. Again, the concept of talent hunt has both its positive and negative sides. Now it’s a popular trend on TV worldwide. Direct involvement with the audience is the main attraction of these shows. In our country, I feel, it initiated a surge of interest in the apparently drooping music industry; in particular the young are drawn to our own musical heritage through these competitions. Even some expatriate Bangladeshi youth, who cannot speak Bangla well, went for learning traditional Bangladeshi songs to participate in Close Up 1,” Bishwajit says.
“An unfortunate aspect is that the winner on such shows often find themselves in a position they perhaps are not ready to maintain. And the risk of not being able to maintain that position is quite dreadful. Success without hard work cannot last long,” the artiste explains.
“As for the show Khudey Gaanraj, I had no idea we have so many talented kids in our country. About the show, my first concern was to inspire the children to learn Bengali music. I am hopeful that we have enough potential talents on the show and if they continue training in music with conviction, they would go to a long way,” says Bishwajit. The show is aired on Channel i on every Tuesdays and Fridays.
Biswajit’s new album Meghleena keeps him busy these days. The album will be released in November. “I’m eager to find out how the audience responds to this album. For the first time, in some of the songs in the album, I’ve allowed some technological support to my vocals. It’s kind of complying with the ongoing trend. I believe in the purity and power of vocals,” the artiste says.
“The songs are lyrically rich. Asif Iqbal, Zulfikar Russell, Prince Mahmud, Kabir Bakul and Liton Adhikaari Rintu have written the songs. Prince Mahnud did the compositions for the album. There is an adaptation of a poem by the late Shamsur Rahman tilted Tumi jodi phirey na asho. The music is experimental and the audience will get to hear some original love songs, which are quite different from the typical ‘you and me’ ditties.”
Though he is positive about his new songs, the artiste never indulges in complete gratification. “After every album, I feel that I could do even better, that’s what keeps me going. I don’t take financial success as a determinant of good work. Good work will outdo time and remain in the hearts of people. It’d be stupid to judge the quality of an album going by sales, though that’s what everyone does now,” Bishwajit smilingly says.
