Why am I going on and on about the current adhunik bangla singers? I believe they are equally talented as their Hindi singing counterparts. They lack publicity, marketing strategies and language problems.
The senior ones like Srikanta, Rupankar,Monomoy ,Lopamudra, Shubhomita all lack show biz qualities. They are more comfortable with a harmonium and tabla rather than big orchestras. It is too late to change. It is a tragedy that such wonderful singers do not find a national stage and remain confined to Bengal and Eastern India. But then, these singers are also unwilling to come out of their comfort level and be daring and uncertain.
But look at the raw young talent who by coming through the competitive, televised talent hunts, are at home being simultaneous singers and stage performers. Debojit, Anik,Amit and now Debabroto and Soumen together with Ujjaini and all show that a new group of eager young singers are shooting up fast. With music directors like Anu Malik, Sh-Eh-Loy,Pritam, Shantanu, Himesh,Aadesh already willing to incorporate them into playback singing, Bengal's new brigade seems on an inexorable upward march. How many survive in this cutthroat industry remains to be seen. Discipline, versatlity, dedication and the luck is so necessary with ,of course, the basic talent.
When will these new singers produce songs like this?

All of them in the great tradition of the famous singers who still live on through these songs.....
