Azam Khan’s ‘Uccharon’ band making a comeback

Entertainment Desk :

After a 14-year break, the legendary Bangladeshi band ‘Uccharon’, originally formed by pop pioneer Azam Khan in 1973, is set to make a comeback.
The announcement was made by Azam Khan’s daughter, Aroni Khan, during the ‘Guru Reloaded’ event held in Dhak recently commemorating the singer’s death anniversary, said a press release.
‘Uccharon’ was born in 1973 when Azam Khan, returning from the Liberation War, teamed up with friends Nilu, Sadek, and Mansoor.
That same year, their performances of ‘Eto Sundor Duniay’ and ‘Char Kalema Shakkhi Debe’ on BTV catapulted both the band and Azam Khan into national fame.
Over the years, the band delivered numerous hits alongside Khan.
However, following his death on June 5, 2011, the band ceased activity.
At the event organised by Azam Khan’s nephews, Arman Khan and Adnan Khan, ‘Uccharon’ took the stage once again with its current lineup: Piaru Khan, Dulal, Kosek, Shipar, and Tuhin. The performance marked the band’s official revival. Speaking to the press, Aroni Khan said, “As a family, we’ve always wanted my father’s music to live on. If no one sings his songs, how will the next generation know him?”
She revealed plans to reform ‘Ucharon’ and possibly join the effort herself. “I once dreamed of entering music with my father. Although that couldn’t happen, I’m stepping in with his songs now. Through ‘Uccharon’, we aim to reintroduce his music to the world.”
She also hinted at an upcoming press conference to unveil new direction of ‘Uccharon’ and future plans.
