Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
Amusical soiree by noted Tagore artiste Shuvra Debnath was held at Auditorium Nouvelle Vague, Alliance Française de Dhaka in the capital’s Dhanmondi area recently.
Mohit Chakrabarty writes in the book Songs Eternal, “The songs of Rabindranath Tagore are the songs eternal. They live forever within us and perhaps beyond us. We live, love, sing, cry, dance and die with these songs only to live again. What makes Tagore’s songs so appealing and eternal? Perhaps because they are familiar with mankind anywhere and everywhere.”
Since Subhra Debnath’s early childhood she has been walking the path of music, starting with receiving lessons from the distinguished artiste Dilip Das and later from Murad Ali, Lily Islam, Sadi Mohammad and Rezwana Choudhury Bannya. Talking about her works she confessed, “Despite most of the audio companies do not treat Rabindra Sangeet albums in the way they treat other pop albums, I hold a solid confidence that the trend of Rabindra Sangeet will see a rise.”
In addition to being a professional teacher, Subhra Debnath regularly performs in local and international shows. She has received awards and accolades from Egypt, Nepal and Turkey among others.
“Music is my life and I will cherish Rabindra Sangeet as long as I live,” said Subhra at the ending of her performance.
