Fuad and Friends deliver stellar performances during tour in Bangladesh

Fuad Almuqtadir and his band, Fuad and Friends (FNF), concluded their December tour in Bangladesh with a series of show-stopping performances. While this year’s tour included more private events than usual, their public appearances, especially at the BPL Music Fest in Chattogram, stood out as the highlight of the season.

Fans and critics alike praised Fuad and Friends for delivering one of the most polished and transformative stage performances in the country. Audiences at the BPL Music Fest noted how the group’s performance changed the entire atmosphere of the event, with their seamless blend of sound, lighting, fashion, and stage presence creating a magical and immersive experience.

Fuad’s ability to merge nostalgic classics with fresh, modern sounds captivated the audience. The inclusion of guest artists Sanjoy and Muza in the BPL set expanded the musical spectrum, showcasing a vibrant mix of genres and styles.

While Fuad credits his team for the band’s success, describing them as the backbone of every performance, the team insists that the real driving force is Fuad himself. “Even if another music director had the same team, it wouldn’t be the same,” said one team member. “Fuad brings the Midas touch that transforms every show into an extraordinary experience.”

The talented lineup that supports Fuad includes:

• Zakir Hussain (permanent sound engineer of FNF),
• Tasneem Batool (management and operations),
• Vocalists Hasib, Tashfee, and Anika,
• Guitarists Pritom and Wasi,
• Drummer Amzad Hossain,
• Percussionist Mithun Das,
• Bassist Pavel,

• Guest musicians Ananda Shikder, Kamrul Hassan, and Rahin Haldar.
