Shyamal Mitra popular singers of Bengal

Shyamal Mitra

Shyamal Mitra was one of the most popular singers of Bengal during the '50s to early '70s. He had a unique voice and was one of the most favourite romantic singers. Nearly all the composers of that time composed some unforgettable songs for him. He didn't sing many songs for Salil, but the ones he did are all classics. His interpretation and delivery of songs such as 'Jodi kichhu amaarey sudhaao' and 'Dur noi besi dur oi' is sheer magic. Salil also composed songs for the All India Radio in Calcutta and one of those 'Choley je jaay din', a wonderful composition with rather complex chord progression later became quite a hit (sung by Kishore) in the film 'Annadata'. Another AIR song 'Ogo Surangana' which Salil later used partly to compose the title music of 'Anand' was also a brilliant composition, which unfortunately never became commercially available.There's a Kannada version of this song in the film 'Samsayaphala' sung by Sabita Chowdhury (yes! she sings in Kannada) and P.B.Srinivas which probrbly has a record or cassette.

hmm....Shyamal Mitra is my all time fav 😛he has such a sweet & melodious voice 😳

One of his most noted numbers is " Gaane bhubon bhoriye debe....bole chilo ekti pakhi" 😊 which is simply unparallel👏

Also there is " Ami tomar kachei phire ashbo....tomai abar bhalobashbo"
Then there is :Jeebon khatar proti patai...jotoi likhi hishab-nikhash" & "Ami cheye cheye dekhi shara din" from the famous flick of yesteryrs as in "Dewa-newa" starring the legendary Utaam Kumar & Tanuja 😃

Appaji, i always wanted to ask you this. How come you have a complete s.indian name, when u clain (and i know it now by your msgs and song selections over various threads) that u r a bengali - apparaohoare!!!! is it a pseudo name or something. or r u a half bong?

I am a 100% pure bengali, and I wish that it was my pseudo name, but unfortunately it isn't. I don't know why my parents became my biggest enemies while naming me. Or else names a pure bengali boy with a pure south indian name.
