Prithibir Joto Shukh–Habib ft. Nancy
January 9th, 2009
Habib Wahid (Bengali: হাবিব ওয়াহিদ), better known as Habib, is a popular Bangladeshi composer and musician. He is notable for his fusion of traditional Bengali folk music with contemporary techno and urban beats. He takes folk music and remixes with popular music forms. He takes songs of composers like Hason Raja, Shah Abdul Karim, Amir Uddin and others and remixes the tunes with hip-hop, reggae, and rap.
Life and career
Habib’s father Ferdous Wahid was one of the trailblazers of Bangla pop music in the 1970s and 1980s. Habib started to pick up tunes on his father’s keyboard from the time he was a little boy. Later, he studied music and audio engineering at the School of Audio Engineering in London. Habib conceived his first folk-remix album Krishno while he was still a student in London. “I had the concept and even the tracks arranged..and was looking for a vocalist,” he said. Kaya, the vocalist Habib was looking for is a Sylheti restaurant owner in London and amateur singer. The first few songs arising from their collaboration proved to be unexpected hits on the underground scene, both in London and in Dhaka. Krishno was a success when it was eventually released in Bangladesh, its unique blend of age-old folk and modern electronica introducing a radically new sound to the Dhaka music scene. Since then, Habib has released three more albums: Maya (2004), Moina Go… (2005) and Shono! (2006) or his new album Panjabiwala (2007). He has featured new voices in all his albums. Besides Kaya he uses Helal, Julie, Konica,and Nirjho In the album, “Moina Go…” Habib himself appears singing two new romantic songs. He also has his father, Ferdous Wahid singing a song in that album. Habib also has little rap, r&b, hip-hop, and reggae type add-ins to songs done by Kunle. Habib is touring, with upcoming shows in Toronto and Montreal. Habib’s Canadian success is managed by Feroz Haq, who is the founder of the International Habib Fan Club (better known as I.H.F.C.). As Habib continues to gain international success, his future goals include “bringing the bohawk into the mainstream.”

Hoofer’s House (Studio): Rhonda Jordan
December 26th, 2008
**Song: “Route. 66″
MIT Ph.D. student and NSF fellow Rhonda Jordan, has been studying dance since age 6 and has formal training in ballet, jazz, lyrical and tap. When she was just 8, she became the youngest dancer selected to participate in the Dance Theater of Harlem residency program in classical ballet, co-sponsored with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. She has performed in various venues across the U.S. and around the world and has taught dance to elementary and middle-school children in inner-city schools.
However, dance isn’t Jordan’s only love. When she was 16 she entered the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied science at Columbia University to major in electrical engineering. She graduated magna laude from Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, with a concentration in fiber optics and lightwave communications.
Jordan was named a National Science Foundation fellow and was awarded a full fellowship to pursue her doctoral studies. She is now a Ph.D. student in MIT’s Engineering Systems Division, where she will pursue research interests that include applying systems thinking to address complex societal problems.
Jordan’s advisor, Professor Richard Larson, described her as a “hard-core electrical engineer” who decided a couple of years ago that traditional engineering was too narrow and technocratic. She took a hiatus from graduate school to teach inner-city children in New York City, which so energized her that she sought out MIT’s Engineering Systems Division as a place to develop her diverse skills and broadening interests.
