Naquib Khan's 50th year anniversary

50 years later, Naquib Khan stands as a musical pillar

Back when cassettes were still a part of everyday life, my dad had a drawer overflowing with cassettes by Souls and Renaissance. I’d often hum along to songs like “Mon Shudhu Mon Chhuyechhey”, “Bhalo Lagey Jotsna Ratey”, and “O Nodire Tui Jaas Kothaire.” The melodies and lyrics felt magical, and I remember wishing to someday meet the person behind these songs.
