Renowned folk singer Salma has once again captured the hearts of music lovers with her soulful rendition of the song “Piriter Ghor”. Originally released four years ago on her YouTube channel, Salma Music, the song has recently gained renewed attention across social media platforms. Written by lyricist Tarek Ananda and composed by Sajib Das, the track showcases Salma’s distinctive voice and emotive delivery. In a recent Facebook post, Tarek Ananda shared the song and remarked, “The song is gradually reaching more people. Salma’s voice is always beautiful.” Since then, the song has experienced a fresh surge in popularity among listeners.
For Salma, “Piriter Ghor” holds special significance. She has expressed that many fans find reflections of their own lives in the lyrics, making the song deeply resonant. It has, over time, carved out a permanent place in the hearts of her audience.
Salma’s personal life has recently undergone a significant transformation. Following the end of her marriage, she has chosen to navigate life independently, focusing on her own path and dedicating herself wholeheartedly to music.
Currently, Salma is extremely busy with her live stage performances. Last Saturday, she performed at a concert in Cox’s Bazar, accompanied by fellow musician Sabbir Zaman. Prior to this, she performed in Ashulia, Savar, delighting local audiences with her melodious voice.
Salma recently celebrated her birthday, a day that was tinged with some melancholy, as she revealed. Nevertheless, she spent quality time with her daughter, Safia, and was joined by her parents and brother, cherishing family moments amid her professional commitments.
Reflecting on her life and future plans, Salma shared,
“I don’t plan life in advance anymore. Alhamdulillah, I try to live well the way Allah has destined. I want to raise my children as good human beings and nurture my music in my heart. Singing has brought me immense love from people, and I want to continue to nurture my music. I aim to present new songs to my audience and inspire them through live performances. Beyond music, I have no other concerns.”
Salma has also expressed fondness for another of her popular songs, “Bhalobashi”, written by A. Mizan with composition by Sumon Kalyan. Released in 2021 on her YouTube channel, the song continues to receive strong appreciation. She revealed that she feels most comfortable performing melancholic and soulful songs, which she plans to continue in the future.
Considered by many as a “signature voice” in Bangladesh’s music industry, Salma has steadily strengthened her position among fans. Through a combination of heartfelt songs and engaging live shows, she continues to enthral audiences across the country.
