To relieve the plight of flood victims, popular music band “Joler Gaan” will perform today at 7pm at National Art Gallery Auditorium of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA). The leading folksy band will perform live after almost four months. Joler Gaan Fan Club in association with BSA has organised the special concert.

Omar Faruk coordinator of Joler Gaan Fan Club, said, “The price of a ticket is Taka 500. Music lovers can collect tickets from the outlets -- Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi, Bashundhara City, Baily Road and Aziz Super Market-- of 'Deshal', a popular attire shop“. 

“The fans of Joler Gaan are very active. They have started collecting funds for the flood victims. We have already sent relief twice to Kurigram through the members of our fan club. They are playing a prime role in organising the concert. We, the  members of Joler Gaan, will perform our popular songs at the concert and the proceeds of  the event will go to flood affected people,” said Rahul Ananda, one of the frontmen and multi-instrumentalist of the band.

“We are all set to perform at this special concert so that we can collectively contribute to ease the plight of the flood victims. The price of the ticket has been fixed a bit higher than our regular shows. We hope, our friends, fans and the general audience will respond to the good cause,” said Saiful Jarnal, percussionist of Joler Gaan.
