Zubeen melody hits Bangla music world
By Sanjoy Ray Assam Tribune
GUWAHATI, Dec 8 The soulful voice of the new-age sensation of the Indian
music industry, Zubeen Garg, is breaking geographical boundaries, with the
latest obsession being witnessed in neighbouring Bangladesh. Zubeens poignant
voice, of late, has penetrated a promising market in the Bangladesh music
industry, more so because of his recent Bengali chartbusters, which have
already caught the fancy of music buffs in West Bengal and other parts of the
Bengali-dominated areas.
The popular singer-cum-music director has now been roped in by a Dhaka-based
group in Bangladesh, where Zubeen would perform live for the first time ever in
his career. The show is scheduled to take place sometime in the month of
January next year.
Talking to The Assam Tribune, Zubeens manager T Mittal said that the show was
due for quite some time but owing to some political problems in Bangladesh,
nothing was finalized.
But now, everything is settled and Zubeen too is excited about his maiden
performance in Bangladesh, Mittal said, while adding, Zubeens popularity in
the Bengali music industry has been instrumental in catapulting his popularity
in the Bangladesh music circuit, which comparatively remains an unexplored
market even for many senior singers of the Indian music industry.
The musical trip to Bangladesh, if sources close to the singer are to be
believed, might also fetch the popular singer some new offers from the
Bangladesh music industry.
He is a popular face in Bangladesh and apart from his Bengali numbers, his
song Ya Ali still rules the roost among the music buffs there, he pointed
out.
Zubeen, it may be mentioned, has a kind of record of singing over 7,000 songs
in various regional languages including Assamese, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu,
Oriya, Marathi and Nepali, among others.
Zubeen, who shot into fame with the Ya Ali number, is presently donning the
mantle of a judge in popular Bengali reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa being screened
in Zee Bangla. Besides, apart from adhering to his hectic Bollywood schedule,
is also rendering his voice to a host of Bengali albums and movies. His latest
Bengali music album Tumi under the banner of HMV was a smash hit both in West
Bengal and Bangladesh.
The popular singer has also been roped in for a couple of Bengali music albums.
It deserves mention that in the year 2005, Zubeen bagged the best music
director award for his music in Bengali movie Sudhu Tumi.
Though the popular singer could not be contacted for his comment, sources close
to the singer informed that Zubeen, who is presently riding on the success of
his latest solo music album Zindagi and has emerged as one of the most sought
after voices in Bollywood, is currently having dates problem, for which he also
had to opt out of the Sahara Ones reality show.
