Aqil Brothers - Chicago-based artists Shamim and Mithun represent the heart of Bangla Qawali and Lokogeethi folk music. From a young age, the Aqil Brothers bore witness to the power and resilience of music. Their father, a musician from their village in Bangladesh, performed regularly and moved local audiences. Following in their father’s footsteps, the Aqil Brothers began accompanying their father on the Harmonium and Dhol. Together, they have created a bond that goes beyond the art, it is a link to their home, culture, and lineage.
