in the recent year Bengali music has gone through a radical change. Although the 'seed' started during 70s but the flower only bloomed recently.
Most modern Indian would perhaps only know about Kishore Kumar or Shanu or Shan or Preetam as Bengali singer/musician but there is a silent revolution that took place right inside the red state of west Bengal. The below link is some of my favourite songs from recent past. Click and enjoy!
