Palbasha Siddique ((ベンガル語:পালবাসা সিদ্দিক)) (born January 3, 1991) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Palbasha Siddique- Praan and my 18th Birthday! )〕 is a Bangladeshi born American singer. She is best known for her performance of ''Praan'', a song adapted from the collection of poems ''Gitanjali'' by Rabindranath Tagore, with music composed by Garry Schyman for Matt Harding's "Dancing 2008" video. ==Early life and career== Siddique was born in Bangladesh. She moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her family at age 10. She received a scholarship to MacPhail Center for Music and sang in her schools' choirs and theater programs. At age 11, she sang ''God Bless America'' during the seventh-inning stretch at a Minnesota Twins game. She attended De La Salle High School for two years and sang in both the concert and a cappella choirs. While a 17-year-old student at Southwest High School, Siddique participated in KFAI radio's 1st International Women's Day program in March 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Birongona Program at KFAI )〕 A video clip of her singing for the Minneapolis radio station was posted to YouTube. Harding's co-producer Melissa Nixon found the videos as Schyman was looking for a vocalist to perform "Praan," whose lyrics are written in Bengali and based on poetry by Rabindranath Tagore. Schyman flew Siddique and her mother to Los Angeles for a day of recording in mid-June 2008. "Palbasha was the consummate professional, perfectly in-pitch and absolutely belying her age," Schyman told the ''Minneapolis Star-Tribune''.〔 The "Dancing 2008" video was posted soon afterward, and ''Praan'' climbed into the top-10 list of soundtrack downloads at Amazon.com. On November 2008, Matt and the vocalist Palbasha were interviewed by KFAI radio in Minnesota.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rajib interviews Matt Harding & Palbasha Siddique - KFAI - Pt. 1 )〕 The interview focused on how the "Dance 2008" project came to include Palbasha. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palbasha Siddique」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
