Popular band ‘Dolchhut’ comes up with 3 music videos to commemorate World Music Day
June 20: Craziness is perhaps one of the major ingredients for achieving something creative, something out of the box achievement, doing something ordinary in a most extraordinary way, something which the world would admire to be a class in itself. There is no dearth of examples in this world when craziness gave rise to some of the best creative achievement. Moreover, when it comes to creative excellence in the field of dance, music, literature, some amount of being crazy, being childlike yields great results. Such a rare and glaring saga of shooting to prominence can be witnessed in the musical journey of Team Dolchhut.
To commemorate the World Music Day, Team Dolchhut has come up with three music videos, which includes two of their own compositions and one rearrangement of a popular folk song from Bangladesh. The songs are available in the official YouTube channel of Dolchhut.
World Music Day is celebrated on June 21 every year to honour the musicians and singers for the gift of music, which gives flight to the imagination and life to everything.

Team Dolchhut, a young band of fiery youth performed together for the first time in Shillong long back in 2008. They too could not understand that this particular day would go down the pages of history as a red letter day in their life. On returning back to Silchar, they started to contemplate to move forward in life with their newly formed team. There were many ups and downs. They had to overcome many a storm in their musical journey. But what appears to be the key to their success is their will force and the ability to do something best. In this way, they have overcome 12 golden years.
