|
“And the winner is …Konal,” TV presenter Farzana Brownia dramatically announced at end of the four-hour grand finale of “Channel i Shera Kontho 2009″, a musical talent hunt, held at Rajshahi District Stadium on Thursday night.
With the announcement, the chilly winter night in the northwestern city warmed up for some moments as 25000 people at the stadium and some 50,000 outside jumped up in joy and fireworks lit the sky. It was a night to remember in Rajshahi.
The announcement came as a relief to millions of Bangladeshis at home and abroad glued to the TV screen, waiting for the result.
Somnur Monir Konal from Dhaka won the title, while Chaitee Mutsuddi Liza and the youngest finalist Moumita Tasrin Nadiraj won the first and second runner-up positions respectively.
Konal received a cheque worth Tk eight lakh, while Chaitee got Tk five lakh and Nadiraj got Tk three lakh. They also received monetary and other gifts from different organisations, including a Tk 25,000 award from Rajshahi City Corporation.
The finale featured spirited live performances by the seven finalists and the results were based on points given by the judges and SMS votes from the audiences.
Renowned artistes Runa Laila, Sabina Yasmin, Subir Nandi and veteran music composer Alauddin Ali were present as the judges at the finale, adding grandeur to the programme that left a lasting impression on the people of Rajshahi.
The programme began with speeches by Channel i Managing Director Faridur Reza Sagar and Rajshahi Mayor AHM Khairuzzaman Liton.
The main event began with the performances of renowned dancers Shibli Mohammad and Shamim Ara Nipa accompanied by around 100 young dancers of Rajshahi; the song “Aguner Poroshmoni Chhoao Praney” played in the background.
The mega event changed the city mood. Four big screens were set up inside the stadium and six at different city points.
Head of News and Director, Channel i, Shykh Seraj, however, explained that the total amount of money would not be given to the winners right away. The winners will receive scholarships to acclaimed musical institutions abroad. He said, “A sudden rush of money often corrupts young minds.”
The event, “Channel i Shera Kontho 2009″ began in May with the slogan ‘Gaaney… Awaz Tolo Praney.” Some 92,000 contestants from seven zones of the country — Dhaka Metro, Dhaka, Barisal, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Khulna and Sylhet — took part in the competition.
On the occasion of the grand finale in Rajshahi, Channel i covered special reports highlighting the economy, environment and culture of the city during the last few days.
Farzana Brownia and Robin Khan directed the even jointly.

Dearb Konal,
Thank you so much for who you are,what you are,and what you do.I am an up coming artist/musician in Uganda.I have written so many songs.Yes,its not pride but even others say so about me_I am greatly talented:I compose songs,dramma,play a set of local drums just alone at a time yet they are supposed to be played by 5 people at a time.I have recorded only 2 of my songs for lack of money yet I have over 800 already written songs in my books.The songs are too tasty and touching and are emotionally touching.When I sing about earthly problems and suffering,all people cry.I want to sing and stage concerts for the suffering people e.g prisoners,sick people,the lame,the blind,people in refugee camps,people in war torn areas,street children,widows and widowers,HIV/AIDS victims, and for the concerts I stage I want the money to cater for any of the selected victimised groups at a time.
However,I have no promoter and sponsor to help me record and stage my music.Could you please help find me sponsors and promoters to produce and stage my music.I know God created me to sing for the suffering people and to help them through my music.There other friends of mine whom I can team up with and I have already shared my vision with them.I sing all kinds of music and the 2 songs so far done are in style of Gospel_Dance hall music and Ugandan local style of music popularly known as “Kadongo kamu” which is a solo doing.
Please,I need some one to touch me up by the hand to see my music achieve its purpose to the targeted people.I pray we collaborate because I believe I am a legendary and prodigy of music just because I have not yet found a sponsor/promoter, and I know I have found one today and that is you.
Thanks!
Please reply! I earnestly await for your reply.
i love bangladesh
