Aliya sharafi is a great singer.
I still remember her song "emon moja hoina". In my early age I used to sing this song. Now my daughter sings the song.
Aliya Sharafi and Shahjahan Kamal will be performing at the Chinese Cultural Centre, Toronto, Canada on Oct 29, 2007.
ALIYA SHARAFI will sing ghazal, thumri, dadra and prachin bangla song while SHAHJAHAN KAMAL will sing Rabindra Sangeet and some D L Roy and Rajaninkanto's song.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks
