<\/a>Popular Bangladeshi bands — Warfaze, Aurthohin, LRB and Miles — played to a huge crowd at the Rajshahi District Stadium on March 18.
\nThe event, ‘Banglalink Music Fest 2011’, was an initiative to popularise and promote local culture and heritage.
\nAyub Bachchu of LRB, Shafin Ahmed and Hamin Ahmed of Miles, along with Warfaze, Aurthohin and a local band of\u00a0Rajshahi entertained hundreds of people at the five-and-a-half hour concert.
\nMobile phone operator Banglalink organised the concert to support the dynamic and diverse musical traditions of Bangladesh.
\nThe viewers began queuing up from noon onwards at the stadium, picking up tickets. Their patience was finally rewarded when Rajshahi’s local band Salvation took the stage at 3pm.
\nSumon of Aurthohin took the stage with \u201cGaibo Na Aar Kono Gaan Tomake Chhara\u201d and performed some of their other favourite numbers.
\nMiles played several of their classics, while Warfaze’s Mizan rendered \u201cTomakey Mon-e Porey\u201d and \u201cBoshey Achhi Eka\u201d.
\nFinally, Ayub Bachchu and LRB appeared on stage and performed the band’s popular songs like \u201cMeye\u201d and others. The concert ended at 9:30pm.
\nThe Rajshahi event was part of a nationwide series of concerts, which Banglalink initiated in Khulna last December. The concert was held in Chittagong in January this year before it came to Rajshahi.
\nBanglalink officials said they would organise more such concerts across the country as part of their plan to make a difference through music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
