This will be the first ever tour to Bangladesh for both the artistes

Oscar winning Indian composer and singer AR Rahman and Senegalese American R&B and hip hop icon Akon are set to enchant the audience of Dhaka on March 13 at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

They will perform at the concert organised by Bangladesh Cricket Board for the upcoming T-20 world cup, confirmed an official of BCB.

This will be the first ever tour to Bangladesh for both the artistes.

The source said there were many speculations about the concert but yesterday the two internationally acclaimed artistes and two local bands—LRB and Miles—have confirmed to perform in the concert. Some more local bands and celebrated soloists like Kumar Biswajit, Sabina Yasmin and Runa Laila are also in talks for the mega concert.

However, the tickets of the show will be distributed only after confirmation of all the artistes and the distribution process has not been disclosed yet.

-------------------------------------

I am excited about the concert. Bangabandhu National Stadium is nearby our house but I doubt tickets will be available since these two music icons have huge fan following in Bangladesh.

I am actually a little disappointed also. We have many singing talents in our country but whenever there is any big concert we only see Runa Laila and Sabina Yasmin, two old ladies singing same repetitive songs again and again. I understand they are living legends in playback singing in BD but its really annoying to see only these two representing Bengali culture in any big event. We also have other many talented artists but they only show Runa and Sabina. Its getting boring day by day. We need some fresh artists.
