A heartfelt musical tribute highlighting women’s journeys has been unveiled with the release of the song “Nari Jabe Bari”. Written by acclaimed lyricist Shahid Mahmud Zangi and composed by veteran musician Pilu Khan, the track brings together the voices of contemporary singers Somnur Monir Konal, Antara Rahman, and Masha Islam, blending their unique tones into a powerful anthem that honours the experiences, struggles, and resilience of women.
The musical arrangement has been crafted by Mir Masum, while an accompanying animated video is directed by Mir Hisham and Saraf Chishti. The release is timed for 8 March to coincide with International Women’s Day and will be available on all major audio streaming platforms worldwide. The video will also be published on Azab Records’ YouTube channel and across the social media accounts of the participating artists, ensuring the song reaches a global audience.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Shahid Mahmud Zangi said:
“Women spend their lives seeking a place to call their own. Sometimes it is their father’s home, sometimes their husband’s, and sometimes their son’s. But do they ever truly find their own space? This song explores that timeless question, reflecting on the enduring search for identity and belonging that many women face.”
Composer Pilu Khan commented on the collaboration, noting:
“Over the past four decades, I have worked with Zangi on a wide array of musical themes. This time, we have introduced another dimension, highlighting women’s experiences in a profound way. I hope that the song connects deeply with listeners and inspires reflection on its themes.”
Singer Somnur Monir Konal expressed her excitement about the project:
“I am thrilled to sing alongside two legendary figures. Working with Zangi and Pilu is a milestone in my musical journey and an experience I will cherish forever.”
The song’s release on International Women’s Day is seen as particularly poignant, celebrating the courage, resilience, and aspirations of women across generations. Its animated video promises to visually narrate the song’s themes, emphasising both the emotional depth and societal context embedded in the lyrics.
