Manini Mukhopadhyay Bagchi

Bio

Manini Mukhopodhyay Bagchi was taught to sing by her parents, Sheetal Mukhopadhay and Chobi Mukhopadhay. Since 1990, she has been trained by Alpona Ray. Today, having performed extensively as a solo Tagore singer, she is one of the top Bengali female vocalists in this style (known as Rabindra Sangeet). She has taken part in many televised productions and has recorded six albums to date: Santiniketaner utsober gaan (2003), Sumongoli bodhu (2003), Asim gaaner resh (2003), Nrityodharer taale taale (2003), Aamaader Shantiniketan (2005) and the video CD Abelay jodi esechho (2007). In 2007, her performance at an all-night concert at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata was highly commended by music ritics.

As well as her performance career, Manini Mukhopodhyay Bagchi has a Masters degree in Bengali literature and a Masters degree in Rabindra Sangeet, both from Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan. In March 2002, she was selected by the Visva- Bharati Music Board as a research scholar to prepare a variorum edition of Tagore notations.
