Bangladesh’s musical heritage witnesses a rare and remarkable moment as legendary singer Sabina Yasmin revisits one of the nation’s most cherished film songs, “Ei Mon Tomake Dilam”, after an astonishing 44-year interval. Originally recorded in 1982 for the film Manasi, the song has long been celebrated as a timeless classic in the annals of Bangladeshi cinema.
The original composition featured lyrics penned by the illustrious Gazi Mazharul Anwar and a melody crafted by the revered composer Anwar Parvez. Its emotive tune and poetic words have made it an enduring symbol of love and nostalgia for generations of music lovers.
Now, the song has been reimagined for the contemporary Bangladeshi film “Dum”. The new rendition includes additional lyrics written by Tanmoy Parvez, while the music direction is handled by Arafat Mohsin. The recording session recently took place at a studio in Dhaka, where Sabina Yasmin lent her iconic voice alongside rising star Momin Biswas, bridging generations of artists.
During the recording, Sabina Yasmin expressed her enthusiasm:
“I truly enjoyed working on this new version. Collaborating with young talent is always a joy.”
Momin Biswas described the experience as surreal:
“Singing alongside Sabina Yasmin is like fulfilling a lifelong dream.”
