Revival of Rajani Kanta Sen nostalgia

To perpetuate memories of the foregone era of Rajani Kanta Sen, Surnandan Bharati, under the stewardship of Ritish Ranjan Chakraborty, arranged a musical soiree on Saturday, 22 June, this year, in Kolkata’s Indumati Sabhagriha (Jadavpur).

A centennial tribute

Hemanta Mukherjee (1920-89) believed that it is important to acquire the best at a time when the world has become really small; when we are listening to western music and the West is listening to us. This simple formula he pursued throughout his life and on reaching perfection he immortalized himself in Bengali music in particular and in Hindi songs in general.
