Islam Uddin Palakar for first time in playback song

Entertainment Report :
In a musical journey spanning four decades, Islam Uddin Palakar has travelled far and wide both in Bangladesh and abroad captivating audiences with his regional folk songs.
The folk singer became a household name with the immensely successful rendition of the song titled ‘Deora’, presented in the second season of Coke Studio Bangla with singer Pritom Hasan. The song quickly gained popularity amongst the younger generation too, putting the singer, who was previously renowned among limited audiences, in a new light. Now, the singer has ventured into a cinema for the first time by lending his voice
to a playback track in Ahmmed Humayun’s
upcoming movie titled ‘Potu’.
A teaser of the song titled ‘Biye Keno Holo Na’ from the movie ‘Potu’ was unveiled on Saturday on the official Facebook page of the movie’s production house, Jaaz Multimedia – introducing
listeners to the soulful voice of Islam Uddin Palakar.
The song will be released on Jazz Multimedia’s Facebook
page and YouTube channel today while the movie is set to
hit theatres on the upcoming Eid. Regarding his new venture, Islam Uddin Palakar said, “This is my first time singing for a movie. Although it’s a film song, it speaks of our cultural tradition and heritage. I am familiar with this genre of music, and that familiarity made me agree to the offer. Moreover, the overwhelming love and support I received after singing at Coke Studio Bangla motivated me to
explore singing in the movie.”
“I have always been involved in singing song. However, I only aspire to sing folk and regional songs such as Jarigaan, Sarigaan, etc as it is the genre that I am most comfortable with.
If someone asks me to sing a Lalon geeti, I might find it
challenging. So, if the genre of the songs chosen for the films aligns well with my style then
I won’t have any issue
singing for movie.”
