Banani Dey Music Festival: Introduction

In the spirit of the Renaissance ideas we have discussed on the blog throughout this year, we will do something new for the next few weeks … a music festival. We’ve never done this before, but I am delighted to introduce you to an artist whose mastery of two major genres of Bengali music – Nazrulgeeti and Rabindrasangeet is significant. Yes, Banani Dey is a relatively unknown artist, an undiscovered talent. She lives in Calcutta, and is not a full-time musician. She is a PhD in Chemistry, and a good example of the kind of left-brain and right brain thinking that spurs Renaissance thinking.

I hope you enjoy this series. And if you like the music, please share with your friends.
