Profile Of a Dedicated Artist Baul Abul Hossain

Living on singing
    Cruel Truth or ignorance

“Bonde maya lagaise, piriti shikhaise” – yes the love for singing is giving him to live on it. The song is sung by a sixty years old man, dark, short person with beard face. Du – Tara is the only partner of at this stage of his life. His engagement with Do-Tara took place when he became all alone without his wife and being unable to do any other tasks for his livelihood.Baul Abul Hossain was born in Comilla and brought up in a poor family. He could not get the opportunity for having academic education. He made his livelihood by being a boat man; that was the only source of income with which he had brought up his family of two sons and three daughters. Music was in his soul from his early age, which made him to capture all the rhythm and sing with harmony so nicely, even without having any academic lesson on music. He used to play Do – tara by his own as if the tunes were in his fingertips; it seems that Goddess of music enlightened him with great talent. He used to sing in his village for its entrainment purpose. The rhythmic sound coming from claps of the audience would give him satisfaction. This talent has become his only source of income to live on. He sings all deshi (local songs); baul, bhauai, shorioti, marfoti etc. He now sings at the street, sometimes with the rich peoples’ appeal and he gets some honor (in monetary term).

This is how our tradition or culture is ignored through valuing with little kind attitude for a moment or a day; example like Abul Hossain. This is the nation’s failure. End result turns into “living on singing”. 

TablaRaj Bangladesh always Support him with due respect .

Profile Of a Dedicated famous Poet MADON SARKER

Famous “Kabial” Madon Sarker was born at Sahilpur village of Singhol Bangla Union of Netrokona District at Bengali year 1324. His father name was Shashimohon Acharjya. Madon Sarker’s actual name is Madonmohon Acharjya. But “Kabial”s are specially called as ‘Sarker’. His father Sashimohon played ‘Baul Song’. His uncle Bijay Narayan Acharjya was a famous ‘Kabial’ of the East Bengal. Another famous ‘Kabial’ Ramsundor was a student of Bijay Narayan. Modon Sarker learnt to sing to Ramsundor. Then Madon Sarker was just 18 years. From then above 60 years Madon Sarker sang “Kabi” song. Once the man who spellbound the audience by singing day after night, now he is fighting with the reality for his old aged. Yet Madon Sarker keep himself tight with this belief that he can yet recover himself one day again by spell bounding the audience by “Kabi” song. How is Madon Sarker now? When this question is asked to Madon Sarker, in reply he said that

“BRIDHHO BOYOSHE MODONE THEKLAM BORO NIDANE,

BODONE TAPER KARBAR NAI, KAMER MODHHE KORI KAM,

TOIJOSHPOTRE LIKHI NAME, OKKHORE UT ANA DAN,

EI HARE PAI”.

Now he earns his livelihood by engraving letter on plate. But by doing this it’s impossible to lead his life. For each letter to engrave he just get 50 paisa. Someday he gets this job or not. Besides for the latest technology none wants to print his/her name on the plate. For these Madon Sarker can’t lead his two times of meals a day everyday. In past he got some chance to sing “Kabi” song at different arrangements. But those days are gone away. At that time he earned Tk 200/= or 300/= per arrangement. Cultural Ministry showed indifferent attitude with Madon Sarker. Ministry didn’t show him the proper respect. As an old cultural personality he gets just Tk500/= per month. But is it enough for a human to lead his life in the running heavy pressured market prize? Again he doesn’t get this little money regularly. Sometimes he gets this money in 6 month or sometimes he never gets after 1 year. This is like to make him happy one day after keep him in starvation all the year. Once there’s time when the king or landlords patronize these cultured pupil like Madon Sarker to keep alive the “Baul, Vatiali or Kabi” song culture. But today that days gone away. The heavily important element of our blood culture is going to be disappeared from our mind. So the government & the cultural minded people should take a step to keep our local culture & also keep alive the people like Modan Sarker. The man who created a great cultural environment at the whole Mymensigh district he is now quiet silence. Why?


We the people should take step to reign these people like Madon Sarker to their own qualification. We can’t find today a young aged boy singing “Boul”, ”Kabial”, “Vatiali” song by walking in a village path.


Today Madon Sarker is not a young person. He is being old but his heart is young yet. He is too confident yet to spellbound the audience again if he get a simple chance to show his performance.


TablaRaj Bangladesh always support him with due respect .
