Around 100 artistes perform in Derai.
A packed audience sang along with artistes as they were presenting “Agey ki shundor din kataitam,” one of the most popular compositions of Shah Abdul Karim. The mystic poet was honoured last Friday night at the Derai High School premises in Karim’s hometown. About a hundred artistes performed Karim’s songs at the nightlong programme titled “Mon Mojaley Orey Baula Gaan.”
However, the frail bard could not attend the event due to ailments. His son, Nur Jalal received a medal on behalf of Karim at the programme.
Shah Abdul Karim Sangskritik Parishad organised the event. Litterateur Sumon Kumar Das; Derai Upazila Muktijoddha Sangsad Commander, Abdul Quaiyum; educationist Anukul Chandra Dey and former Chairman of Sarmagal UP, Abdus Sattar among others, spoke on the life and works of the living legend. Mahbub Hasan, president of the organisation, chaired the event.
Among artistes who performed at the programme were Baul Bashiruddin Sarker; Baul Tota Miah; Faisal Ahmed; Shibbir Ahmed; Mahbub Hasan; Amiya Roy; Gopesh Paul; Sushmita Roy; Prarthona Rani Das; Anup Barman; Jonaki Talukder; Papia Das, Vishnu Pada Das and Bappi Roy.
