Rizia Parveen is a popular singer in Bangladesh. She is set to remain busy with a series of stage shows in the United States through October.
Rizia first travelled to the US to perform at a stage show in 1995. She received $500 as her first payment there.
Since then, the singer has travelled to the US for stage performances almost every year.
She recently returned to the country and performed at an event in Ozone Park, New York, on August 9.
The singer is scheduled to perform at another event at Queens Palace in New York on August 23, alongside singers Kamruzzaman Babul and Trinia.
The event will be hosted by New York-based presenter Sonia.
On September 20, Rizia will perform at an event commemorating Maulana Bhashani.
She is also scheduled to perform at several other stage shows in September and October, keeping her schedule packed through the autumn.
Meanwhile, Rizia will celebrate her birthday on August 20. Several small events are also being organised in New York to mark the occasion.
Rizia Parveen has remained a familiar name to Bangladeshi music audiences for decades.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Tumi Amar Chand Ami Chanderi Alo’, ‘Premer Name Mithye Bolo Na’, ‘Sobar Jibone Prem Ashe’, ‘Akashete Lokkho Tara’ and ‘Tumi Sokha Amar Bondhu Lago’.
Speaking about her long association with the US and her performances there, Rizia Parveen told this correspondent, “I have been travelling to the United States, particularly New York, for more than 30 years.
Whenever I come here, I get opportunities to perform at several events. I try to represent my country and my language through music.
Since I am here around my birthday this year, a few events are also being organised to mark it. I am always grateful to my fans and listeners.
Their love continues to inspire me, allowing me to move forward in the world of music without interruption. I seek everyone’s prayers.”
Rizia’s father, Abdul Hasid, died in 1985, while her mother, Ruma Hasid, passed away in 1997.
She remains in regular contact with her close friends Nancy, Jesmin, Shirin and Chayna. The singer is scheduled to return to Bangladesh on November 5.
