Chetonaye Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra

During the Liberation War, Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra played a crucial role. While the Freedom Fighters fought the Pakistani occupying forces in the battlefields, the artistes of the radio station were engaged in another kind of war - keeping the hope of freedom alive among the millions. In the course of the nine-month war, the station inspired the nation with their songs and several programmes.

As a tribute to Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra and its artistes and songs, Close-up and ntv are jointly releasing “Chetonaye Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra” this Independence Day (March 26) - a compilation of 50 patriotic songs aired from Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra. The songs have been re-recorded. The album contains five CDs. Twenty Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra veterans and 20 “Close-up 1” contestants (representing the current generation) have recorded songs for the album.

A concert featuring the songs will be held at the south plaza of the National Parliament on March 26.

Shujeyo Shyam and Ajit Roy are the music directors of the album. Musician Partho Barua has done the music arrangement.

Fakir Alamgir, Kalyani Ghosh, Timir Nondi, Rafiqul Alam, Shujeo Shyam, Gazi Mazharul Islam, Kaderi Kibria, Bulbul Mohalanobish and Manoranjan Ghoshal are among the artistes who have recorded songs for the album.
