The first private FM radio station of the country, Radio Today, celebrates its second anniversary this year. On this occasion, a concert was held at the Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Centre (BCFCC) on October 30. Popular band LRB, and artistes Balam and Tishma performed at the concert.
The gig started with Balam's performance. Balam, a former member of the rock band Warfaze, started with "Brishti jhorai." One after another Balam rendered his popular songs including "Tomar jonno," "Prem shikari" and "Prem jamunar matal hridoy." Balam also sang a duet with his sister Julie. The song, "Priyotameshu," is from the soundtrack of the upcoming Morshedul Islam film with the same title.
However, during Balam's performance, the sound system seemed to have glitches and it was hard to follow the songs from the back rows.
Vivacious pop singer Tishma sang "Ichchheygulo chhowa jaye" and "Mon-er pashey."
A troupe, promoting the Mojo brand, performed in between Balam and Tishma. The troupe did a cover of the Winning song "Ichchhey korey." Mojo was the sponsor of the event.
LRB took the stage after Tishma and started with "Shudhu tomar jonno". "Neel nayona" was the next. The audience seemed unmoved to LRB's less familiar songs and it was not until the old and hugely popular numbers like "Hashtey dekho gaitey dekho," that they started cheering.
LRB rendered several of its oldies including "Ural debo akashey," "Gotokaal raatey" and "Shei tumi."
RJs of Radio Today, Neerob and Nawshin, were the MCs of the event. Channel i, daily Samakal and entertainment magazine Ice Today were the media partners of the event.
