The Bengali New Year is being celebrated today with vibrant arrangements unfolding across the country. From lively concerts to musical performances, renowned artistes and bands are taking the stage to delight audiences and spread festive cheer nationwide.

A group of musicians from Bangladesh will take the stage at the Unesco headquarters in Paris as part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations of International Mother Language Day. According to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, performances by Bangladeshi artistes will be a key highlight of the event.

The experience was hands-on, intimate, and vulnerable, as many paid tribute to the lives lost in the July Revolution, as well as writing and creating art dedicated to their own personal struggles.

People across the nation have rallied to support those affected by the floods. Whether it's through donations of money, clothes, or food, everyone is finding ways to assist the flood victims. Some have even travelled to the hardest-hit areas to provide direct aid. The country’s music industry has also stepped up, actively raising funds to help those in need during this crisis.

Antora Rahman, Old Dhaka Diaries and F Minor serenaded the audience during the event.
