With the coming of Professor Frank Koonce from Arizona to Dhaka, and the careful guidance of the Alliance Française guitar teacher, Iftekhar Anwar, guitar notes have flooded the Ecole de Musique for the past two occasions of Fête de la Musique. They’ve had Olivier Labe, to shout them on. Labe comes from Paris, and on two occasions, one has witnessed his expertise at the Dhaka University premises and the Alliance Française. Labe has superbly combined his guitar know-how with other instruments too- leading to fusion music- with dance and accompanying notes of Bangladeshi musical instruments, such as the “tabla” and the “harmonium”.
With Iftekhar Anwar, the guitar teacher of Ecole de Musique, to lead them on, Medieval, Renaissance, Romantic and Modern music on the guitar are seeing their emergence for the eager music enthusiasts of the guitar group of the Ecole de Musique. With encouragement, perseverance and a little bit of luck, the Ecole de Musique guitar players should go a long way.
Both Japan and Bangladesh have always shared good bilateral relations during the last three decades, with Japan providing its services as an important development partner to Bangladesh. Besides cultural and political cooperation, economic cooperation between these two countries has always been prominent. The foundation of this economic cooperation has been aid (both financial, infrastructural and in terms of technical skill building of human resources), trade and investments.
Japan has always been keen on introducing new technology to Bangladesh, and today they are looking to tapping Bangladesh’s ICT resources in the form of offshore outsourcing. To establish this point, the Japanese embassy in Bangladesh brought in Professor Dr. Keiko Morisawa from Osaka City University, Japan, to provide an informative lecture on the present situation and challenges of IT service industry, through her wealth of experience in Southeast Asian countries.
