As part of a talent hunt programme, cultural organisation Palli Baul Shamaj Unnayan Shangtha (PBSUS), in association with the German Embassy, held a daylong cultural programme at Shawkat Osman Memorial Auditorium, Central Public Library on June 14. The programme titled "Talent Hunt Top Ten Baul-3rd round" featured performances by 34 folk artistes. PBSUS launched the talent hunt in April this year, with the aim to discover talented young folk artistes. From 210 entries in the first round, 40 were selected by a panel of judges consisting of noted folk artistes Kangalini Sufia, Himangshu Biswas and Abinash Chandra Sheel. The second round was held on June 2, in which 34 qualified for the third round. After the third round 28 aspiring folk singers are left. The forth round is expected to be held shortly. Veteran folk artiste Abdur Rahman Boyati was present at the event.
