In the wake of the Awami League-led government’s collapse, young singers have called for freedom from the irregularities, corruption, and political biases that have plagued the music industry for the past 16 years.
The “Free Artistes’ Society” held a meeting at the Reporters’ Unit in the capital, attended by nearly two hundred artistes and industry professionals.
Musician Muhin Khan played a key role in organising the gathering.
The organisation intends to establish a new monitoring database centre that will function as a music regulatory commission. This entirely non-political body is designed to support artistes throughout Bangladesh.
The event was attended by Muhin Khan, Nolok Babu, Binod Roy, Pallab Bhattacharya, lyricist Ahmed Rizvi, NI Bulbul, Rajib Hossain, Azmir Babu, Sujan Arif, Rafat, Moon, Sabrina Saba, Kheya, and Dola.
