Celebrated singer Sabina Yasmin will perform vocals in her daughter’s next album.
Badhon, Sabina’s daughter, is currently working on her fourth album which will feature four duet songs by the mother and daughter. ‘The last time I sang with Badhon was in 2006, for her album Protichhobi,’ said Sabina Yasmin.
All the songs in the album were composed by Rajesh Ghosh and Mohidul Hasan.
The singer also detailed her current endeavours, saying she is planning to bring out a new album of her own. ‘Right now, it’s just a thought. The only thing I can say now is that the songs will be of a different sort and melody-based.’
Sabina also talked about two other albums now under development. ‘One of the albums will feature patriotic songs while the other will have new recordings of some of my old hit numbers. But I have yet to start work on both.’
Sabina Yasmin is the vocalist of some of the most famous patriotic songs of the country, including Janmo Amar Dhonno Holo, Sob Kota Janala, Sei Railliner Dhare, and Swadhinata Tumi. She is also known for her philanthropic work with DCI, a nonprofit organisation working for the protection of children’s rights.
‘Last year, I attended eight concerts in different locations of the United States to collect funds for DCI. I am planning to do similar concerts next year also,’ Sabina Yesmin told New Age.
Sabina Yasmin has recorded more than 1,500 songs for films and over 10,000 songs in general. She is the singer of numerous super hit songs including Osru Diye Lekha, O Amar Rosiya, Ei Mon Tomake Dilam, and Ei Prithibir Pore.
