Dilaram | Coke Studio Bangla | Season 2 | Arnob X Hamida Banu

#Dilaram is an emotion, a plea to keep your loved ones close to your heart. Life comprises moments - some of which at times put our hearts to the test. These are the moments we turn to our Dilarams who appear in the form of a confidant, or inner voice.

The great Bangladeshi poet from the 19th century, Hason Raja, pens this emotion in “Dhoro Dilaram”, where in the song, he urges Dilaram, his closest companion to hold on to him tight at times he feels that he is slipping away. The same emotion can be felt in Arnob’s “Amay Dhore Rakho” – a song that was written back in 2009 as the first song to be released by Arnob & Friends as a part of a world tour to raise funds for underprivileged children organized by Dristipath. In the song, Arnob too calls out to anyone who was ever close to him, to stay by his side because at the time life seemed to be struggling.

Decades apart the hearts of two musicians sang the same appeal for togetherness because in togetherness there is #RealMagic
