Nakshikatha releases new song ‘Tor Jonno’ for Friendship Day

Eminent Bangladeshi folk musical band Nakshikatha is releasing a new song titled ‘Tor Jonno’ marking the Friendship Day.

The track is written and composed by Sajed Fatemi, the Bandleader and Vocal of Nakshikatha.

‘Tor Jonno’ is sponsored by Rushmono Specialized Hospital and Friends Care Hospital Limited.

However, countries like India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, and the United States mark Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August every year. This year it will be observed on 1 August.

“The lyrics of the song refer to a lovely connection between friends,” said Sajed Fatemi. “Our composition and singing have added a different dimension to the song; I believe the audience will like it a lot.”

Sajed Fatemi said, “Friends are the greatest gift of life. Sometimes, being with your best friend is all the therapy you need and to celebrate these friends who would always love you—the imperfect you, the confused you, or the wrong you”.

He said Friendship Day is celebrated across the world with great pomp and show. Our new song based on friendship is nice, I hope that it will be able to create a special appeal to music lovers; I really enjoyed singing it.

One of the most important members of Nakshikatha and renowned composer Romel Hasan has arranged the music for the song. The music video will be released on the official YouTube channel of Nakshikatha on 31 July 2021.

Sajed Fatemi has been working for the music industry since 2003, released eleven solo and mixed audio albums during his 18 years of professional musical carrier.

He formed Nakshikatha in 2007. Two albums ‘Nojor Rakhis’ in 2008 and ‘Nakshikathar Gan’ in 2016 were released. About 40 songs of Nakshikatha have been released on different occasions.

The band consists of Sajed Fatemi, the band leader on vocal and percussions, Bulbul on percussions, Sumon on acoustic guitar, rabab and dotara, Romel Hasan on accordion and melodica, and Shams on bass guitar.

In 1930, Friendship Day was first organized by the founder of Hallmark Cards, Joyce Hall. He intended this day to be celebrated on the first Sunday of August when people would come together and celebrate their camaraderie.
