Joy Bangla Concert fever grips bands
Joy Bangla Concert, the biggest musical show for youths, is reclaiming its space on 8 March after a two-year wait due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A nod to the wartime slogan Joy Bangla, the concert pays a musical tribute to the historic 7 March speech by Bangabandhu that galvanised the nation into the struggle for independence in 1971.
With the countdown for the event nearing the end, bands made it to the Internet, exuding their excitement centering on the energy they are going to fill the Army Stadium ground with.
The Centre for Research & Information (CRI) and its youth secretariat Young Bangla have been organising the concert since 2015 as part of their mission to bring youths closer to history.
