Shaon remembers Humayun with new song

Meher Afroz Shaon, the widow of legendary author-filmmaker-playwright Humayun Ahmed, released a sequel of her iconic song ‘Jodi Mon Kade’, paying tribute to the polymath on the occasion of his 73rd birthday on Saturday.

The new song is available to the audience on the YouTube channel of Laser Vision. Its music video was shot in Nuhash Polli in Gazipur featuring actress-director-singer Shaon.

Mohammad Fazal has written the song while its music and composition are done by singer-composer SI Tutul, who had collaborated with Shaon in the original ‘Jodi Mon Kade’.

Lyricist Fazal initially wrote the song very long which was later cut short and revised, as shared by Shaon with The Business Post recently. “I sang a song back in 2007 titled ‘Jodi Mon Kade’. It can be said that my next single is the ‘new chapter’ of it,” she said.

The original ‘Jodi Mon Kade’ was written by Humayun Ahmed. Released in the voice of Shaon in 2007, the song is still loved by fans.

The 73rd birth anniversary of Humayun Ahmed was observed on Saturday. TV stations, radios, online platforms and cultural groups hosted various programmes on the occasion.

Legendary author Humayun Ahmed passed away on July 19, 2012, at the age of 63.
