The singers of Bengali song

Bengal has its own great tradition of song: the film and Puja-season records of the golden age, the songs of Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam, the folk and Baul singers of both Bengals, the singer-songwriters and bands of Kolkata, and the playback voices of today. Each singer here has a written page, and every song plays from the record label's or broadcaster's own channel.
