Manzurul Islam Khan Musical Concert, An Evening of Ghazal
Date: Tuesday, 20 January
Time:6pm
Venue: AFD Courtyard, Alliance Francaise
He is better known as an avid follower of the ghazal legend Jagjit Singh. Manzurul Islam Khan has been performing his solos at some selected places of Bangladesh and India since 1994. He received 'talim' from Ustad Azad Rahman, Ustad Sanjib Dey, Ustad Aminul Haque and Ustad Amjad Rahman in Bangladesh and Ustad Usman Khan, Ustad Sanjoy Chakrabarty in India. He was fortunate enough to learn from the Ghazal King – Jagjit Singh, albeit for a short time. He aspires to continue singing as long as he can and contribute to the world of Bengali version of ghazals bringing in a variation in its gaayaki (rendition) altogether. His upcoming performance will again illustrate this philosophy.
