Bhorsha Thakuk Bangla Gaane

In 2013, during his first trip to Bangladesh, Arko met an influential journalist called Munni Saha, head of news reporting at ATN News in Dhaka.

Getting attracted by Arko’s versatility and study on Bengali and International folk music and his stories of travel, Munni decided Arko to be featured in a Live TV interview, and the response was incredible.

In 2014, Arko was invited by ATN News to be featured in a News documentary of 8hours called Bhorsha Thakuk Bangla Gaane. The documentary shows the the journey of Arko and Munni through the remote villages of Bangladesh, Urban Cafes, Universities, local street tea shops, River rides etc and talks about the roots of bengali music and its history of immigration along with the stories of Arko’s travels in Europe and his family roots in East Bengal. The Documentary was broadcast on the day of Bengali New Year and received great appreciation. Arko has also been featured in several other documentary films made by young filmmakers.
