Kanika Bandyopadhyay Kanika Bandyopadhyay was often regarded as Ashram Kanya or 'girl of the Ashram' as Shantiniketan on the model of an Ashram (educational hermitage) was reposed on.

Ruma Guha Thakurata This astonishing multi tasking persona was born in the year 1934 to father Satyen Ghosh, also known as Montey Ghosh, and mother Sati Devi, a talented singer in a Brahmo Family. Ruma Guha Thakurta also bores a relationship with the legendary film director Satyajit Ray as her mother's younger sister Bijoya is married to him. Swagatalakshmi Dasgupta Through her performances she has always magnetized her audiences. She, unlike other Rabindra Sangeet singers, believes in playing only a keyboard as the instrument while rendering the song. She has a melodious voice and has sung some of the best Tagore's compositions. Banani Ghosh Since the year 1961, Banani has attempted to re-introduce Tagore to the people at large through Rabindra Sangeet and for that she has been journeying on invitations. To take part in the Rabindra-Jayanti festivities she conscientiously makes annual visits to India. Varied themes, rich quality and most importantly that close link to the heart, which Rabindra Sangeet establishes, has made it the music of the common people whilst whispering the saga of love, nature, languishment and eternal worshipping of the omnipresent. Rabindra Sangeet therefore with its sheer majesty, utmost beauty and ultimate passion combines the classical characteristics with the elements of the songs of soil to make the music truly stand apart as an insignia of Indian classical music. |
