Songs from the could-land
On the 27th of June, a group of friends got together to celebrate the spirit of monsoon through Bengali music. The programme, titled "Meghmuluker Gaan" ( Songs from the land of clouds) was held at Pt. Subhankar Banerjee's residence. It was anchored by songwriter Arna Seal and vocalist Srikanto Acharya. The participant vocalists were Oishani, Hiya, Pratyay, Samyabrata, Titir, Dithi and Mohul. They were accompanied by Hrid on the tabla. Suvendu Shekhar Das supported the young group on the keyboard.
The songs selected for the event were mostly Bengali modern songs- composed and recorded in and after 2000. A Rabindrasangeet also found itself in the song list, along with an original composition by two of the performing vocalists.
This programme, held in the form of a homely 'jolsha' was appreciated by the small but select audience.
