Shakila Zafar Ventures into New Territory with Labonye Purno Pran

Shakila Zafar has been an audience favourite for her melodious ‘adhunik’ (contemporary) Bangla songs for almost three decades. In 1979, after winning a classical music competition [by Bangladesh Betar], she stepped into the Bangladeshi music scene, and since then there has been no turning back.

The breaking news is that the celebrated singer is going to release her first solo album of Rabindra Sangeet on April 7. The album, titled “Labonye Purno Pran”, features 10 songs and was recorded in Kolkata [India], under the supervision of accomplished Tagore singer and exponent Chanchal Khan.

It should be mentioned that Shakila had recorded two Rabindra Sangeet duets with Kamal Ahmed [featured on the latter’s album “Phalguner Din-e”] previously.
