An original musical play based on one of South Asia’s brightest poets and composers, Kazi Nazrul Islam.
Nazrul fought poverty, illness, and prejudice to rise as one of the most powerful influencers of the sub-continent only to lose his voice and memory at the age of 41, in 1942. His peers, who have passed to the afterlife, Tagore, Atul Prasad, Rajnikant and DL Roy are devastated seeing this, reminisce and narrate his story from heaven while actors, musicians, artists, dancers, and singers in this world, demonstrate his creative works on earth. Does Kazi Nazrul Islam lose or win against his adversaries?

Preserving Indian Classical Music
Preserving Indian Classical Music in Bangladesh and the UK: Analysis
Classical music is an acquired taste in all cultures and related to the region that it is from. The reason why it is acquired taste is because it did not develop from the local and masses of people. Although the flavour of Indian classical music is related to the region that it is has emanated from, the aesthetics and principles of North Indian and South Indian classical music are formed from thousands of years of history, philosophy and from trial and error.
