The highly acclaimed Hatirpool Sessions has returned with its third instalment, introducing the song "Biroti". Released on Thursday night, "Biroti" is a beautiful piece that encourages listeners to pause, reflect, and escape from the chaotic emotions that life often brings.

“Hatirpool Sessions” began its journey four years ago, offering a perfect blend of simplicity and depth. Its lyrics have given voice to unspoken emotions, connecting with everyday experiences. Now, collaborating with around 25 different artistes—both new and seasoned—the platform is just days away from unveiling its much-awaited third season.

Ahmed Hasan Sunny, a rising star in the music industry, has seen a rapid ascent to fame. Yet he holds steadfast to his artistic principles and personal identity, unruffled by the allure of fame or commercial success. He drops by The Daily Star’s studio for a brief chat.

The spirit of solidarity through music has been a beacon of hope and activism throughout history. Just as the "To Gaza, from Dhaka – Artists Against Genocide" concert unites Bangladeshi musicians to aid Gaza, it bears a striking resemblance to another historic musical event: the "Concert for Bangladesh."

“I don’t know how else we can help a nation that is repeatedly being wronged other than through our art,” said Ahmed Hasan Sunny, a rising star in the music industry. “We’ve remained an audience, helpless after seeing bombs dropped on civilians, hospitals and innocent children in Gaza. We decided to do something about it.” The young artiste took the challenge to organise a concert in support of Gaza’s hand-in-hand with artist Morshed Mishu, who was already planning to make graffiti to speak up for the oppressed people of Gaza.

Bangladeshi artistes and humanitarian activists have come together under the platform Artists Against Genocide to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This fundraising concert titled “To Gaza From Dhaka” will be held at the Hatirjheel Amphitheater on November 24.

In recent years, Arnob has grown to be what many would call a magician, playing and experimenting with new tunes and beats, all of which trace back to the traditional roots of this subcontinent.

The event will feature renowned musicians like, Arnob, Anupam Roy, Taalpatar Shepai, Meghdol, and Hatirpool Sessions.

Sunny quickly rose to fame with his impressive vocal range and for its versatility. Some of his popular hits include "Amare Uraia Dio", "Shob Plastic Er Putul", and "Anondo Bhoirobi".
