This unique three-month long festival, returning to London for the fifth year, showcases the splendour of Bangla Music and its spectacular latitude through mind blowing performances (with relevant translation wherever necessary) by the best of Britain. The event is supported by London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Rich Mix, Keats House and Poplar Union.

The festival features the evolution of Bangla music (evolved approximately at 730 AC) from Charjya-Pod, folk, Kirton, Toppa, Poncho-Kobi (Tagore,D.L Roy, Atul Prasad, Rajanikanto and Najrul) to Modern Bangla music. The leading singers around the UK from West-Bengal and Bangladeshi origin will exude the treasure and the glorious journey of Bangla music.

This session of the festival showcases a facinating presentation of Bangla music researched, performed and anchored by the young talented Bengali diaspora in London who are successfully carrying on the legacy of this great form of world music forward..
