Interview With Habib Wahid
For someone who is so deeply passionate about music, someone who feels rhythm deep inside veins, someone who is so in love with the sound of music, someone who is truly drawn in to reach the hearts of the mass through melody- Habib is surely an emblem of everything musical and 'deshi.' Beautiful songs that were un-heard of for many many years, songs that most definitely captured emotions of geniuses who weren't fortunate enough to reach to the mass, Habib re-created them in his own exclusive style and brought it to Bangladeshis, home and away.
