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. Zubeen’s 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, Zubeen’s 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, “ Zubeen’s
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
One’s reality show.
