New -delhi, October 6 (IANS). The story of Pandit Arun Bhaduri is to become a glowing star in the world of Indian classical music, which comes from the narrow streets of Kolkata. Arun Bhaduri, born 7 October 1943 in the Murshidabad district in West Bengal, not only enriched the groceries and Rampur-Sahswan Gharana with his velvet voice and Sadhana, but also brought Bangla songs and hymns to new heights. Arun’s tendency has been after music since childhood. His father wanted him to become an engineer, but the call of music drew him to master like Mohammad -e -dawood Khan and Mohammad Sagiruddin Khan. In 1978, when he joined the ITC Music Research Academy (SRA), Ustad Ishtiaq Hussain Khan carved his talent. Pandit Gyan Prakash Ghosh taught him the nuances of Bangla songs and Thumri. His deep, echo -voice spreads magic in every genre of Raga courtyard to sacred hymns. Once during a concert in Kolkata, Arun Bhaduri took such a highlight in Raga Bhairavi that the audience was captivated. He was not only a singer, but also a songwriter and musician. Bangla songs composed by him still echo on the radio. Arun Bhaduri’s life was a symbol of simplicity and dedication. Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty calls him ‘Self -built Lord’. In the SRA, he would explain the depth of Ragas to his disciples, but never tell their achievements. In 2014, his art was honored with the Bang Vibhushan Award. His death plunged music lovers in Deep Mourning on December 17, 2018, but his legacy is still alive. Breathing disease weakened them, but the power of his voice never diminished. Once he said in an interview, “Music is meditation to me, which connects me to God.” His compositions and teachings still inspire young artists. Bangla and classical music are not with us now, but many of the disciples of Bhadur promote their tradition. Story -tags
