Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
In the beginning of New Year, National Film Award winner popular singer Fahmida Nabi gave good news for her fans. She has been enlisted as a music composer (Grade A) at Bangladesh Betar. She got the enlistment as a singer at Betar in 1977. Fahmida Nabi is delighted to enlist her name as
a music composer after 44 years in this state-run organisation. She feels pride in this regard. She believes it is her great achievement as a music composer. However, she first composed tune of own song titled Tumi Ki Sei Tumi. Later, she composed tunes and music of so many songs.
According to the singer, she has already completed composition of three new songs. After making music videos of these songs, she will be released these on her YouTube channel soon. These songs are: Monzurul Alam Chowdhury’s Ami Tomar Somadhite Esechhi, Hosne Ara Jolly’s Jonaki O Jonaki and Atiur Rahman’s Chayer Cup-e Emon Keno Hoy. Now music arrangements of these songs are going on.
Fahmida Nabi informed that she will also release recently deceased Borno Chakroborty composed a song titled Bondhu Ayna Arekti Bar, which lyrics were written by Anisuzzaman Jewel. Fahmida rendered four songs, which lyrics were written by recently deceased popular lyricist Russell O’neil. Russell’s sudden suicide is giving pains to Fahmida Nabi. She said, “We do not except such kind of death.” Under Bappa Mazumder’s composition, she rendered four songs which lyrics were written by Russell O’neil. These are: Ek Jiboner Boshonto Sob Tomai Dilam, Kokhon Tumi Dako Kachhe, Ghum Nei Chokhe Aj and Chhuye Gele Anmone.
While talking about her enlistment at Betar as music composer and her birthday, Fahmida Nabi said, “When my father Mahmudunnabi composed music, during that time I could try to compose tunes. By this way, once I composed music for own song. Now I am regularly composing music. It is really a delightful matter for me as I have been enlisted as a music composer at Bangladesh Betar. It is really a joyful matter to me. I never plan to celebrate my birthday. This year has no plan because my only daughter Anmol is now in London. But on my birthday, I will cut along with my mother – it will be delightful matter also. Everybody prays for me as I can remain well.”
