The Joy Bangla Concert, known for bringing popular bands together and attracting a youthful audience, is facing backlash due to violence associated with the quota reform movements' protests.
Raffan Imam, a Bangladeshi musician popularly known as Popeye, named his band after his stage name, Popeye Bangladesh. They have become yet another name of craze amongst the country’s youth. Being a permanent resident of The United States, Popeye can hardly visit Bangladesh for concerts. But this time he arrived in Bangladesh for his first solo concert titled “Popeye: A Night to Remember”, held at the Liberation War Museum of Agargaon in Dhaka on May 24 (Friday).
Renowned for his contributions to the music industry, Raffan Imam, affectionately known as 'Popeye,' has been sweeping audiences off their feet with his voice for more than a decade. Throughout his extensive career, Popeye has produced numerous popular tracks, including hits like “Neshar Bojha,” “Tikto Shotto,” “Bishanna Shundor,” “Moron Iccha,” and “Raat Kotha.” Despite his permanent residence in the United States, Popeye has been a rare presence in concerts in his home country.
Taking fans by surprise, Popeye released a new song titled, “Bhul” today. The melodious yet melancholic number was uploaded to YouTube.
With his original tracks, the voice behind the project, Raffan Imam, has created a musical entity of his own. Having released his first album in 2010, he is all set to perform his first concert in the country in 13 years on March 9, at the capital’s International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB).
