The journey of band music in Bangladesh is witnessing a resurgence, with many recognising that it all began in Chittagong. Not only that but numerous successful bands and music icons have emerged from this coastal city, surrounded by the sea and hills. It's within this Chattogram’s landscape that this year's much-anticipated "Joy Bangla Concert", one of the country's biggest concerts is taking place.
The Joy Bangla Concert, traditionally held in Dhaka since 2015, will take place at the MA Aziz Stadium in the port city of Chattogram on March 7 this year. This marks the first time the concert will be held outside Dhaka.
Renowned band Nemesis has recently released a new single “Ghour” from their upcoming album. The impassioned “Ghour” will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major streaming platforms from December 7.
“I don’t know how else we can help a nation that is repeatedly being wronged other than through our art,” said Ahmed Hasan Sunny, a rising star in the music industry. “We’ve remained an audience, helpless after seeing bombs dropped on civilians, hospitals and innocent children in Gaza.
