Ahead
of the launch of their first album, the British-Bengali band, Khiyo, will
perform songs from the album at Stepney Green Fair on Sunday (August 10). This
performance will be followed by the National Theatre’s Outdoor Festival earlier
this week.
In
order to create music of their album,
they have taken inspiration from classical, rock, jazz, blues, Nazrul Sangeet,
Bengali folk and Indian classical.
Members
of this band are Sohini Alam (vocal), Oliver Weeks (guitar and piano) and Ben
Hillard (bass guitar).
Khiyo
came to the limelight after combining the national anthem of Bangladesh with
modern instruments, though it steered some criticism.
