A musical tribute to Dr Yunus

Fakir Alamgir with Dr Yunus

Alamgir first performed the song at a mass reception by Nagarik Samaj on October 16 at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre. Later he presented the same song at a reception by the Ambassador of Norway in Dhaka, Ingebjorg Stofring celebrating the Nobel Peace Prize 2006 and wishing bon voyage to Professor Muhammad Yunus and his delegation.

Alamgir said, The song was written spontaneously in a very short span of time."

Inspired by the Norwegian Embassy, Alamgir has produced a short video documentary, Jobra to Oslo. The film will be aired on small screen from December 10, the auspicious day when Yunus will officially receive his prize at a grand ceremony. The documentary might be projected at the award giving ceremony, says Alamgir.
