As part of the celebration, eminent Nazrul researcher Professor Dr Nashid Kamal and renowned violinist Sunil Chandra Das were honoured for their outstanding contributions to Nazrul Sangeet. Dalia Nausheen presented them with flowers.

To commemorate the 126th birth anniversary of Kazi Nazrul Islam, the National Poet of Bangladesh, the cultural platform Gems of Nazrul hosted a musical tribute titled “Ontorey Tumi Acho Chirodin” this evening. The event brought together prominent Nazrul exponents and emerging voices to celebrate the poet’s diverse musical repertoire and reflect on his unparalleled contributions to Bengali music.

Nazrul's extensive repertoire encompasses more than 3,500 songs, ranging from romantic and devotional pieces to revolutionary anthems. His contributions include the creation of 17 new ragas, a remarkable achievement over a span of just 22 years.

Gems of Nazrul has crafted its 31st artistic music video "Joy Hok”, in commemoration of the 125th birth anniversary of our National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam this year. This video is centred on several iconic Nazrul songs that ignited the spirits of the youth during the anti-colonial era and the 1971 War of Independence.

“Swadesh Amar Janina Tomar” was first released in the music compilation "Gul Bagicha" on June 27, 1933, during the month of July of the same year. This patriotic Nazrul sangeet of self-awareness was later recorded by the giant music company HMV (His Master's Voice) in the same year, with the vocals of artiste Kashem Mallick.

Gems of Nazrul’s primary objective is to raise more awareness among the younger generation about Nazrul's ideology, philosophy, and artistic masterpieces.

Gems of Nazrul will pay homage to the National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam marking his 124th birth anniversary tomorrow. Their 27th production titled “Ke Duronto Bajao” will air on Channel i on May 25 at 12:01 am, and will also be available on their YouTube Channel.

The event featured Sumon Chowdhury and Professor Dr Asit Roy, who presented performances and held discussions on related events.
