Hemanta Mukherjee
Rabindra Sangeet By Hemanta Mukherjee
Hemanta Kumar Mukhopadhyay (Hemonto Kumar Mukhopaddhae) or Hemanta Mukherjee (1920 - 1989) was an Indian singer, composer and producer. His output in Hindi is under the name Hemant Kumar.
Hemanta was born in Varanasi (Benares) on 16th June, 1920. His family hailed from a village named Baharu in West Bengal and migrated to Calcutta in the early 20th century. Hemanta too grew up in Calcutta and attended a school in South Calcutta(Bhawanipore) named Mitra Institution. There he met his longtime friend, a celebrated Bengali poet, Subhas Mukhopadhyay. After passing the intermediate examinations (12th grade) Hemanta was admitted to Jadavpur University to study engineering. However, despite parental objection, he quit academics to pursue a career in music. Hemanta briefly tried his hand at literature and also published a short story in a prestigious Bengali magazine called ‘Desh’, but by the late-1930s he was committed entirely to music.
Under the influence of his friend Subhash Mukhopadhyay, Hemanta recorded his first song for All India Radio in 1933. The first line of the song was ‘aamaar gaane te ele naba ruupe chirantanii’. Hemanta’s music career was mentored by the Bengali musician Sailesh Duttagupta. In an interview on television in the early 1980-s, Hemanta had mentioned that he had also received training in classical music from Ustad Faiyyaz Khan, but his tutelage was cut short by Ustad-ji’s untimely death. In 1937, he cut his first gramophone disc under the Columbia label. The songs (non-film) on this disc were ‘jaanite jadi go tumi’ and ‘balo go balo more’. Lyrics were by Naresh Bhattacharya, music by Hemanta’s mentor Sailesh Duttagupta. Thereafter, every year Hemanta continued to record non-film discs for the Gramophone Company of India(GCI) right till 1984. Hemanta’s first Hindi songs were ‘kitanaa dukh bhulaaya tumane’ and ‘o priit nibhaabewaalii’, released in 1940 under GCI’s Columbia label. Music for these songs were composed by Kamal Dasgupta, lyrics were by Faiyaz Hashmi. Hemanta’s first film song was in the Bengali film ‘Nimai Sanyas’ released in 1941. Music for this film was scored by Hariprasanna Das. Hemanta’s first compositions for himself were the Bengali non-film songs ‘katha koyonako shudhu shono’ and ‘amar biraha aakaashe priyaa’ in 1944. Lyrics were by Amiya Bagchi. His first Hindi film songs were in Iraadaa in 1944 under Pt. Amarnath’s music direction. Lyrics were by Aziz Kashmiri. Hemanta is considered a foremost exponent of Rabindrasangeet(Tagore song) - songs (and lyrics) composed by the India’s first Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore. Hemanta recorded his first Rabindrasangeet disc in 1944 under the Columbia label. The songs were ‘prangane mor shiriishh shaakhaay’ and ‘he nirupamaa’. His first movie as a music director was the Bengali film ‘Abhiyatri’ in 1947. Although many of the songs Hemanta recorded in during this time received critical acclaim, major commercial success still eluded him, right until 1947. Some contemporary male singers of Hemanta in Bengali around that period were Jaganmoy Mitra(also called ‘Jagmohan’), Robin Majumdar, Satya Chowdhury, Dhananjay Bhattacharya, Sudhirlal Chakraborty and Talat Mahmood.

I am collecting Rabindra Sangeet from Internet for last 8 years. I have a digital studio. I upgrade any old song to the best of quality. That’s my hobby.
I have seldom come across such a comprehensive site with so many songs of high quality. Thanks a ton for your effort. Do keep it up.
I am exceedingly lucky to be born in Bengal. These songs showers “Amrito” in my life … while I play them … in the dead of the night … in complete darkness … the best ever creation in the history of mankind … by a God named Rabindra Nath Tagore.

Rabindra sangeet is part of every emotion,every feeling that a person encounters through the journey of his life.Be it the Milon of two lovers or Biroho or the craving and longing to meet again as in birth so in death.Each mood each passion is so beautifully portrayed that you feel it was written just for you.It is a music for all seasons ,always and forever.I am proud to be born in an age where these treasures are still enjoyed and understood .

The mp3’s should directly download. Esnips doesn’t work properly.It should be this way:
Right click on the song->Save Target AS->Choose location->Save.
Please try this. This website will then become one of the best and easy to download.Songs collections are very good. Make the site little bit user freindly. We are in the age of customer satisfaction.Right?
