Such a musical genious, could be termed very well as a musical brand ambassador of Bangladesh huh? Has he been branded well overseas? Who are sponsoring the concert? How about the publicity in foreign music media? Any such opportunity is not only about listening to amazing music from a talented Bangladeshi musician, its a great opportunity to brand the country’s music to foreign ears, to find out if there are any avenues to draw in some sort of investment or involvement to embolden the sector or musicians perhaps. Just some vagrant thoughts.
