Singer Shammi Akhter

Shammi Akhter no more

Shammi Akhter, or Shamima Akhter, may be termed the nightingale of Bangla music. She will never sing live or record any new song anymore, as she breathed her last yesterday afternoon, at the age of 60, on the way to the hospital, after she suddenly fell ill at her Shantinagar residence in Dhaka.
