Letter from Bangladesh

While working in Bangladesh back in April I became friendly with a young musician by the name of Shubhashish Banerjee. In my final days there he finished recording his debut album. A few weeks ago I received a package from Shubhahish containing a note and a copy of his new album. As you can see from his note, Shubhahish is a poet. Take a listen to the track below for a sample of his vocal talents.

Back in April I posted this shot of a small child on the street. This photo was taken moments later:
