Without self-purification, the country’s chaos won’t stop
When we hear the popular songs "Ei Padma, Ei Meghna", "Khachar Bhitor Achin Pakhi", "Shomoy Gele Shadhon Hobe Na", or "Tomra Bhulei Gecho Mallikadir Naam", the image of a legendary figure immediately comes to mind—renowned as the “daughter of Lalon,” the iconic vocalist Farida Parveen. She has sung Lalon Fakir's songs more than anyone else. For 54 years, she has been performing Lalon’s songs, Nazrul’s compositions, patriotic music, and classical melodies. For her significant contributions to music, she has been awarded the Ekushey Padak and Japan’s Fukuoka Prize, known as the Nobel of Asia. She also won the National Film Award, along with many other accolades and honors both nationally and internationally.
