Music, the universal language of emotions, transcends boundaries and resonates with the soul. Its rhythmic notes and harmonious melodies have the power to evoke feelings, stir memories, and transport us to different realms. A perfect example of the same is an African artist who has taken the internet by storm with his soulful rendition of the classic Rabindrasangeet, 'Dekhechi Rupshaogre'. The talented artist, identified as Zoutenn, shared the video of his performance on his Instagram account @atikblus. His profound mastery of the Bengali language has left viewers in awe.
"Dekhechi Rupsagore (Bengali), sung by an African guy," Mr Zoutenn wrote in the caption of his post.
