Srotar Ashor celebrates monsoon in Melbourne

A Correspondent
On June 23, Melbourne's 'Srotar Ashor' organisation staged the third of its annual events, presenting music and poetry to commemorate the arrival of the Borsha season. As the curtain was raised at the Chandler Community Centre for the commencement of "Badol Din-er Prothom Kodom Phul”, the audience was treated to a digital display of torrents, which made up the backdrop to a stage decorated with umbrellas and floral arrangement. What followed was a two and a half hour presentation of much-loved Bengali songs and poetry, set to a symphonic arrangement of guitar, piano, keyboard and tabla. The theme of the evening was monsoon, and the programme served not only as a celebration of the rainy season, but also as a tribute to Bangladesh's rich culture. Compilimentary hot tea was provided during the intermission, as well as enough jhalmuri to feed 300 patrons, contributing to the festive mood.
The programme featured songs of popular contemporary artists such as Sheikh Ishtiaq and Habib, in addition to such luminaries as Rabindranath Tagore, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Atul Prasad and Kamoi Das Gupta. As one of the oldest and most progressive Bengali cultural organisations
active within Melbourne's expat community, Srotar Ashor, has achieved a position of eminence and respect through its popular periodical programmes. The organisation stages three major events a year, in addition to one more intimate presentation, each of them featuring performances which illuminate a particular central theme, and showcasing performers well known, not only in Melbourne, but also within Bangladesh.
The programme was put together under the able direction of artiste Chanchai Mandal, with vocal performances by Kakon, Aungshu, Simin, Zaki, Poonam, Himani, Myesha, Anindo, Kanti, and Abonti, which were received with rapturous applause and feedback from the audience. Their renditions were augmented by proficient instrumental work from Saif, Reza, Rafael, Shaugoto and Polash, with Litu presiding over the sound engineering. The musical segments were framed by selected poetic readings by the programme's emcee, Atique.
It was yet another successful evening of songs and music staged by Srotar Ashor, with the spirit of the performers sweeping over an enthralled audience, and proving that no amount of distance can act as an obstacle when passionate people get together to express their love
and kinship for their motherland.
