When Runa returned to Bangladesh in the 1970s after building a successful career in Pakistan, she faced hostility and professional exclusion from sections of the local music industry.
Three months ago, renowned subcontinental singer Runa Laila ended her 14-year hiatus from Bangladesh Betar by performing the song “O Brishti Tumi”. Following this long break, she quickly returned to the studio to record another new song. On June 9, Runa Laila lent her voice to a new track featuring lyrics by Mohammad Rafiquzzaman and a melody composed by Sadek Ali. It was recorded at the commercial operation unit studio of Bangladesh Betar.
