Noted musician Shankar Mahadevan, and Kolkata’s
musician duo Sourando Soumyajit have given music lovers a special surprise.
Mahadevan performed at the annual World Music Day Concert by
Sourendro-Soumyajit in 2024, and the trio collaborated on a rendition of the
well-known Nazrulgeeti Durgam Giri. Recently, the video of the
performance was released by Sourendro-Soumyajit on their YouTube channel.
This is the first time the 57-year-old Mahadevan,
who is trained in Hindustani Classical and Carnatic music, has sung a
Nazrulgeeti. Kazi Nazrul Islam’s powerful lyrics and composition, Mahadevan’s
vocal prowess, and Sourendro-Soumyajit’s take on the musical arrangement create
a unique, but enthralling soundscape. Don’t forget to tune in on YouTube.
