Rock n’ Rhythm 4: Mired in chaos, overcome with emotion
On a day when the rain gods smiled favorably upon the hopes of about ten thousand people, barricades were broken, a stampede nearly ensued, and some logistical issues nearly ruined the experience for those holding general tickets at "Rock N’ Rhythm 4.0" in the capital’s International Convention City Bashundhara. However, for five men who have dedicated their entire lives to music, none of this could dampen the emotional reunion of Black's original lineup.
Dhaka awaits concerts by Anjan Dutt and Black
Winter is generally considered to be the season of concerts in Bangladesh. However, lately, concerts featuring both local and international artists are being organized throughout the year. Tomorrow, Friday, Adventor Communications will be hosting the "Rock and Rhythm 4.0: Resurrection of Black" concert at the ICCB Expo Zone. The following day, May 11th, "Anjan in Dhaka Metropolis Vol. 2" will be held at the Dhaka Arena in Purbachal.
Black reunion: A one-off?
Music in Bangladesh was never the same after Black launched “Amar Prithibi” in 2002. Taking off the much harder edge brought in by the rock bands of the ‘90s, it was Black who arguably popularised alternative rock in the country, along with acts like Nemesis and Stentorian.
Black coming back with original lineup!
Black has been a cornerstone of the country's music scene since the late 1990s. Founded by childhood friends Jon Kabir, Khademul Jahan, and Mehmood Afridi Tony, along with other talented musicians, Black gained acclaim for their distinctive sound. Over the years the band transformed, including lineup changes and artistic developments, always maintaining their commitment to musical excellence.
A man that keeps evolving
He was one of the undisputed kings of Bangla rock in the 2000’s when he was the frontman for Black. When he left the band to make Indalo, he took on an entirely new genre of music. Having also left his mark on television as an actor, he is now knee-deep into the world of podcasts, where I started a podcast is one of the most enticing shows on Youtube. Star Showbiz has a heart-to-heart with Jon Kabir.
