Bringing together talented musicians and singers, the event marked the debut of the company as a new recording label. Two albums were launched at the event, Bujchho, the first album of a new band 'Prayer Hall' -- comprising Abrar Khair Kushal, Shayan Chowdhury Ornob (guest artiste), Jihan Saba Poonam and Saadul Islam -- and Ornob's second solo album Hok Kolorob. While these performers delighted the audience, singer Shahana Bajpai also gave a spirited performance.

The artistes were linked by a common thread. In the words of Abul Khair, chairperson of Bengal Music Company Ltd and the Bengal group, "This group through the different courses of their individual lives had been overcome by frustration and disappointment. The desire to live a better life and long and hard work has helped them rediscover themselves."

The man who has made it possible for these young ones to stand tall once again is their patron and mentor Dr Yusuf Merchant, founder president of Drug Abuse Information Rehabilitation and Research Centre (DAIRRC), who has set up an organisation called 'Land' in the outskirts of Mumbai.

Merchant, the chief guest, said that if the energy of Prayer Hall was to be compared with the Beatles, "Ornob has the creative visions similar to that of John Lennon, Poonam has the spirituality of George Harrison, Saad can be compared with Ringo and Kushal with Paul." Merchant asserts that if channelised properly the younger generation can break through the chains of drug abuse. "My message is that we are a part of society and if the youth can stay way from drugs and be helped by music then nothing could be better," he says.
