To celebrate 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence, Bengal Foundation organised Srijone O Shekore, a 5-day arts festival, from 14 to 18 December 2021, at Bengal Shilpalay, Dhaka. Supported by BRAC Bank, the festival featured performing arts, visual art, crafts, books, film, readings, and events for children. Over 300 singers-musicians-dancers-craftspersons-artists performed on stage and engaged in various kinds of programming at the festival, over the five days.

Shah Abdul Karim (1916-2009) was a preeminent singer and songwriter of Bhatiali, Jari, Sari and Pala genres. He lived in the Ujan Dhol village by the Kalni river in the fertile lowlands of Sunamganj district. A life of continued hardship and lack of access to institutional education could not deter Karim’s outpourings of his spiritual quest, from being inscribed in over 1500 songs. He received his spiritual and musical training from Shah Ibrahim Mastan Baksh. His compositions are shining examples of the rich heritage of devotional poetry that thrives in Bengal. Shah Abdul Karim’s compositions have inspired generations of musicians in Bangladesh and continue to resonate in the hearts and minds of the people.

A rendition of Shah Abdul Karim’s song Ekhon bhabile ki hobe was performed by Chandana Majumdar at Ganer Jhornatolay, on the first day of the Srijone O Shekore festival. The artist was accompanied on stage by Enamul Haque Omar on the Tabla, Mamun in the Flute, Dasharath Dash on the Dhol, Ratan Kumar Roy in the Dotara, and Binod Roy in the keyboard.

Born in Kushtia, Chandana Majumdar was raised in a milieu where music was a part of their everyday lives. She received initial training in music from her father. Later she received a diploma from Bangaldesh Shilpakala Academy. The powerful emotive appeal of her folk numbers, particularly the songs of Lalon and Bijoy Sarkar, have made her a highly sought-after artist. With many awards to her credit, she won the hearts of millions through her memorable songs in the film Monpura.
