UTHSO Bangladesh has recently hosted a musical event titled UTHSO Sandhya 2025, featuring two of the country鈥檚 popular singers, Bappa Mazumder and Somnur Monir Konal, in a concert dedicated to raising funds for supporting underprivileged children.

Konal began her set with the blockbuster title track 鈥楶riyatama鈥� from the film Priyatama. Together, the two artistes performed around 15 songs, including Bappa鈥檚 鈥楶ori,鈥� 鈥楤aji鈥� and 鈥楾omakei Bole Debo鈥�, and Konal鈥檚 鈥楻ajkumar鈥�, 鈥楤asanta Chale Jay鈥�, and 鈥楪hum Jarano鈥�.
