Renowned Bangladeshi singer and composer Miftah Zaman is preparing for a long-awaited return to the spotlight, hosting his second solo concert following a two-year hiatus. Titled ‘Othopor Odhora’, the musical event will take place on 25 September at the National Art Gallery Auditorium of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy in Dhaka. The evening promises an intriguing fusion of his celebrated original tracks, brand-new compositions, and timeless Bengali classics reimagined in his signature style.
The upcoming performance marks a significant milestone in Zaman’s artistic journey. His debut solo venture was held on 5 July 2024 at the Krishibid Institution Bangladesh (KIB) Auditorium in the capital, an event that drew substantial praise from contemporary music enthusiasts. Returning to the solo stage after two years, the artist has designed a setlist carefully structured to bridge nostalgic roots with modern auditory arrangements.
Audience members will hear live renditions of Zaman’s definitive hits, including ‘Chiro Odhora’, ‘Tai Tomar Kheyal’, and ‘Praptishunno’. Expanding beyond his personal catalogue, he will pay tribute to legendary eras of Bengali music by covering celebrated vintage tracks like ‘Hoyto Tomari Jonno’, ‘Ki Name Deke Bolbo Tomake’, and ‘Ami Cheye Cheye Dekhi Sara Din’.
Reflecting on the upcoming show, Zaman expressed his enthusiasm about reuniting with listeners in an intimate live setting. He noted that he and his ensemble have been rehearsing day and night to deliver a polished, emotionally resonant performance. The meticulous preparation reflects the importance of this return, with special attention given to rearranged instrumentals and a well-balanced musical narrative.
The main segment of the concert will commence at 5:00 pm. Advanced ticket sales have already begun, offering two tiers for attendees: standard passes priced at 900 BDT and VIP seating available for 1,200 BDT. Complete ticketing instructions are being provided across the artist’s official digital channels.
Solo contemporary performances carry a distinct appeal in Dhaka’s cultural calendar, allowing musicians to foster direct, unhurried connection with their audience. Held at Shilpakala Academy—the country’s premier national centre for the performing arts—’Othopor Odhora’ offers a dedicated platform for Zaman to showcase his growth as a vocalist and arranger. Fans and music lovers now eagerly await the 25 September event to witness how this blend of nostalgic classics and modern melodies unfolds live on stage.
