After delayed for several times at last the album officially released on April 14th, on Bangla New Year’s day. But it took another week to appear at store shelves.
All the tracks are Lalon Giti. Lalon was a famous Baul (a kind of Bangla folk songs) writer. I had no idea that he was actually against religion: not only against religious extremism, but also against all kinds of our traditional religious belief. Some tracks preceded and followed by comments by Baul artists, also against religion.
A big daring step by Bangla to promote such songs. Though our leaders are kept on saying that we are moderate Islamic country, we all know still some extremists are still operating. We are waiting to see how they react.

First Bangla album for free download
GSeries released Aniket Prantor by Artcell on 31st March. I bought this album in the first place, to extend my support for my most favourite band of recent time. And I have no hasitation to say, this is the second audio CD I bought in last 5 years.
Now, the good news is - for the first time in Bangladesh, an audio label company (GSeries) decided to let users download the tones for free. Thats a good move... I personally believe, an art shouldn't be confined behind a price-tag. You don't have money, you cannot enjoy this! why? It shouldn't be in an artist's mind.
Enjoy music for free. There are several other ways to express gratitude.
