BBC Asian Network will begin a year of celebrations across radio and TV to mark Bangladesh’s 50th year of independence from Monday 22nd March.
A special edition of #NoFilter on Asian Network will kick off the year of programming as host Bobby Friction sits down with Queens rapper and Hip-Hop Bangla pioneer Anik Khan.
Anik will speak to Bobby about his immigration journey, growing up in the Desi community in New York and the new wave sound that he’s creating.
On the official Independence Day of Bangladesh (Friday 26 March), Asian Network Breakfast with Harpz Kaur will feature a live session from Joy Crookes from the BBC’s Radio Theatre, including her first-ever live performance in Bengali.
