ANGAR BRINGS IMAN IN FLAVOURS OF FOLK

ANGAR, as a part of its habit now, has just recently organised another bright and brilliant cultural evening on 24 08 2013. the format of the show was the same - first the in-house team warmed up the stage by rendering two popular pieces accompanied with suave swings of steps and gestures by the talented young generation. the ease, grade and grace of the performance was of such class as to earne accolades from the audience and the chief artiste alike. thereupon iman chakraborty, the very young yet very impressive exponent of a whole range of Bangla songs took up the stage and created a blaze. her sweet yet powerful voice, with untiring zeal and extensive span, rendered a range of bangla songs including tagore numbers with folk flavour, original lalan fakir and hasan raja compositions, general regional folk songs and most interestingly, their transcreations by many masters. the full hall enjoyed in awe and joy the show as it streamed through a live demonstration of flowing folk formats. the programme ended with a dizzying display of sparking tunes sparkling through the souls of the elite audience. at the end, spectators were treated with refreshment, that too as per the long ANGAR tradition. the programme ended successfully with a dual confidence that the in-house ANGAR team performs quite up to standard, and in the hands of our young artistes, the tradition of folk songs will be quite safe and flourishing.
