Celebrating a musical journey

Srikanto Acharya stepped into the Bangla music domain in the mid-’90s and is now a household name for listeners of Bangla songs across the world. And a musical evening — Iti Srikanto — was held recently at Uttam Mancha celebrating his glorious journey.
He has 27 studio albums to his credit — covering several genres of Bengali music. He has sung for films like Antaheen, Titli, Khela, Noukadubi, Iti Mrinalini, Jatishwar and Chatushkone among others.
The evening witnessed special performances by noted artistes like Srijato, Joy Sarkar, Subhamita, Jayati Chakraborty and Bratati Bandyopadhyay. But the loudest cheers were reserved for Srikanto himself, as he sang Megh Piyoner, Amar Sarata Din Meghla Akash Brishti Tomake Dilam, Amolo Dhabala Pale Legechhe, Moner Janala Dhore, Ei Baluka Belay Ami Likhechhinu, Ek Haseen Sham Ko and more.
