party

Once the soul of grand wedding processions, the Lion Band Party now plays to fading echoes of a livelier past. In Patharghata, Chattogram, Shahid—carrying on his father’s legacy—leads the band through another evening performance. Their music, once in high demand, now drifts through fewer occasions, with seasonal festivals like Durga Puja, elections, and religious gatherings offering rare chances to earn between Tk5,000 and Tk15,000 per show.
