Every year on 8 March, International Women’s Day is observed worldwide to honour the social, economic, political, and cultural contributions of women. In commemoration of this year’s occasion, three renowned Bangladeshi artists—Sumanur Monir Konal, Antara Rahman, and Masha Islam—have come together to release a poignant new song entitled “Nari Jay Bari” (“A Woman Finds Her Home”). The song emotionally captures the timeless journey of women and their enduring quest to find a home of their own.
The lyrics were penned by the distinguished poet and songwriter Shahid Mahmud Jangi, while the melody was composed by acclaimed musician Pilu Khan. The musical arrangement was executed by Mir Masum, lending the song a rich and evocative texture. Accompanying the release is an animated music video created by Mir Hisham and Saraf Chishti, which visually amplifies the song’s heartfelt message. “Nari Jay Bari” was officially released today by Azab Records and is simultaneously available on social media channels and international streaming platforms.
Reflecting on the song’s theme, Shahid Mahmud Jangi remarked:
“Women spend their lives seeking a place to call their own—sometimes a father’s home, sometimes a husband’s, and sometimes for their children. But do they ever truly possess a home for themselves? This eternal question forms the heart of our song.”
Pilu Khan added:
“I have collaborated with Jangi Bhai on numerous projects for over four decades. This song represents a fresh chapter focused on women’s experiences, and I hope listeners feel a deep connection with it.”
The performing artists also shared their reflections. Sumanur Monir Konal said:
“Working alongside two legends has been a joy. Collaborating with Jangi Bhai and Pilu Bhai marks a special milestone in my musical journey.”
Antara Rahman noted:
“As a woman, I see myself reflected in these lyrics. Being part of this project with such distinguished artists has been invaluable.”
Masha Islam added:
“Shahid Mahmud Jangi and Pilu Khan are two giants of our musical world. Collaborating with them has been an extraordinary experience, and I hope everyone enjoys this song.”
