Hemanga Biswas - Centenary Tributes

As our centenary tributes to Comrade Hemanga Biswas we will now present three more songs, which are unique in some way or other.

1) It is well known that Salil Chowdhury composed "Sei Meye" as a sequel to Rabindranath`s "Krishnakali".  Perhaps, most of us have listened the song in Suchitra Mitra`s voice which has become very popular. Hemanga Biswas also composed one sequel to "Krishnakali". Here Dohar sings Kabiguru's "Krishnakali" followed by Hemanga's "Surer Guru". -

2) "Habiganjer Jaalaali Koitor" may not be a "Ganasangeet" in the true sense of the term. But we still like to include the song as here Hemanga Biswas tells us about himself in is own special way and tune:

3) "Dhakar Daak" - sung by Kali Dasgupta. The song was composed in 1952 on Language Movement. However, Hemanga was directly inspired by a similar ballad styled song that he heard at Netrakona Peasant Conference of 1943 from two village sufi poets/singers
