Khiyo

Khiyo is a London-based British-Bengali band featuring the powerful vocals of Sohini Alam. Born into a family of internationally-recognised Nazrul singers and trained by her aunt from an early age, she brings her unique interpretive skills to Nazrul, Bengali folk, film and protest songs. Featuring rich, classical-influenced arrangements by London composer Oliver Weeks, Khiyo offers a fresh take on Bengali heritage music. They are currently recording their debut album for release in both Bangladesh and the UK.
