After a two-decade-long absence from Bangladesh Television (BTV), celebrated singer Baby Naznin has made her return to the state-run channel, following a change in the political landscape. Once blacklisted for alleged political reasons, the artiste was invited to perform on March 21 for a special Eid musical programme—marking her first appearance on BTV in 20 years.

Flautist Shahidul Islam, a native of Brahmanbaria, reminisced about the first time he held a flute at a local Baishakhi Mela, where he would often play and immerse himself in the art. What began as a simple pastime eventually led him to turn his love for music into a profession at Bangladesh Betar in 1999.
