Kazi Nazrul Islam, national poet of Bangladesh, called the 'rebel poet' for his fierce resistance to all forms of repression. His poetry, with its vibrant rhythms and iconoclastic themes, forms a striking contrast to Rabindranath Tagore's poetry.
Nazrul nourished almost all the streams of Bangla songs and established them on the solid foundation of north Indian classical music. It was through the originality of his musical talent that the folk base of Bangla songs was linked to the subcontinental tradition of classical music. Nazrul songs can be described as the quintessence of Bangla songs apart from their being the Bangla edition of north Indian classical music. Through a wide variety of themes and tunes Nazrul truly turned Bangla songs into modern music.
This folder contains some songs and recitation of Nazrul himself, recitation of his son Kazi Sabbyasachi and instrumental of his son Kazi Aniruddo.
