Noted Indian singer Manna Dey with a nine-member team is coming to Dhaka on February 18 to perform two shows. Embrasure Films, Inc and Priyanti Edit and Effects will jointly organise the shows titled Manna Dey Night to raise funds for the victims of Sidr that pounded the country’s south-western region on November 15.

The first show will be held at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre on February 19 evening. Hotel Sheraton will host the last show of the artiste on the next evening, said the organisers at a briefing at the National Press Club in the city on Tuesday.

Half of the proceeds from the shows will be donated to the Chief Adviser’s Relief Fund for the rehabilitation of the Sidr victims, said the organisers.
Another noted singer Arundhuti Chowdhury will also perform in the shows, said the organisers, adding a New York-based organisation Kiran Indian Cuisine had extended support to organise the programme.
Mr. Abdul Mannan Talukdar of Embrasure Films, Inc, Mr. Monowar Hossain of Priyanti Edit and Effects, Mr. M Shamsul Huda of ATN Bangla, among others, attended the briefing.
