Indrani Sen, daughter of Sumitra Sen, one of the eminent exponents of Rabindrasangeet, is possibly the most talented young female vocalist, for her distinctive style combined with well- modulated delivery. She has excelled not only in songs of Tagore and Nazrul , but in Bhajans, Geets, Ghazals, Modern Bengali Songs, devotional and many other forms of light classical music.
Her initial lessons started at home with guidance from her mother. In Rabindrasangeet she was trained under the tutelage of the Legend Late Debabrata Biswas, while Late Bibhuti Dutta trained her in classical, Purabi Dutta guided her In Nazrulgeeti. Biman Mukherjee has also been her mentor in a variety of Bengali songs like Toppa, Thungri and Raag Pradhan. Her professionalism and dedication to her music has been a legacy of these great musicians.
Her daughters, Srabani and Indrani, are exponents of Tagore songs, but they are also known for their renditions of other Bengali songs, including those written and composed by Kazi Nazrul Islam. Their mother was, however, an icon in the world of Rabindra sangeet (songs written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore), along with Kanika Bandyopadhyay, Suchitra Mitra and other legendary singers who left this world much before. Sen was the last of them to bid farewell.
Interestingly, to train her daughters in music, she approached Debabrata Biswas, another Rabindra sangeet icon, as she believed they should be coached by the best people and not by near and dear ones.
