Recently, Visvabharati issued a directive, wherein a new Rabindra-singer
has to show a certificate from All India Radio (AIR) before producing a
record of Tagore songs, and then a quality endorsement by Visvabharati
experts before the casettes are marketted. The rub
lies in the new rule that says Visvabharati, through its music board,
can stop a new singer without a certificate from producing a cassette.
Under the new rule, a singer must audition before the board, whose
experts will also subject him to customary quality
check before the launching of casette. The process however
will not apply to an established singer such as Bhimsen
Joshi.
This is an attempt to preserve the essence,purity,structure
and nuances of his songs. In a hurry to hit the big time,
a new singer departs at will from the musical notation and the
unique style created by the poet himself. As a result
market is flooded with casettes contaning raucous music for serious songs.
It seems that the singers are reacting strongly to the new development, fearing
curbs on their freedom, a dip in the popularity and delay in gaining entry
into a money-spinning slice of the music market.
Personally, I am quite worried about the politicking that goes on in both AIR
and Viswa Bharati. The above procedure could result in people with adequate
political backing to get through the song market, while talented artists could
be prevented. This comment is aside from the real controversy of whether one
should moderate the songs of Tagore at all?
Also, it is not clear what will happen to the Rabindra-singers from Bangladesh?
Will they have to get a ceritificate from AIR as well and then an endorsement
from ViswaBharati?
A lot of questions are unanswered on this issue.

His songs were his greatest and most accessible gifts to
Bengali-speaking people. Let all Bengalis sing and enjoy them.
I am sure many of you remember the banning of Debabrata Biswas,
the greatest singer of Tagore songs. Didn't anyone learn anything
from it?
- Ihtisham
I think the Viswabharati directive is the recent one and it
is an addition to the certificate requirements. There has
been an ongoing controversy in the cultural cirles of Calcutta.
One of the recent popular Singer Pijush Kanti Sircar has described
this as posting a sentry at the entry point.

Jokes aside, this is an attempt to prevent new and upcoming
artistes from publishing themselves, in my opinion. Also the
attempt by the Bombay studio clearly points to the way people
would tend to bend the rules.

Right you are! It may seem that Biswabharati has gone a bit bonkers,
and that too this late in the day.
However, was Asha Bhonsle crooning "BoDo Asha Kore..." the same as
Debobrota Biswas's rendition of the same?
There's got to be a uniformity in the 'Gayoki' of Rabindrasangeet. I
sorely doubt whether RT himself would have protested this move. It just
had to happen, I guess. But, whether or not this directive is here to
stay is anybody's guess.

In India we have the other extreme. The singer often
takes too much liberty with the music. In pictures and
in literature the outward form is fixed, but music
requires for its interpretation the human voice; even
in instrumental music you have the human hand which is
very flexible. The singer must therefore be a true artist
and not merely an artisan. In India the composer has to
depend a great deal on the singer to make the music complete
by his rendering, but unfortunately the singer often
overshadows the composer by his own variations.

I will go out on a limb and say this : I believe that the emergence of
Suman Chattopadhyay in Bengal is no less a watershed event than the
emergence of Rabindranath Tagore was in the early years of this century.
After many, many barren years, a giant has finally appeared in Bengali
music.
A comparison of Suman's music wih Tagore's is of course senseless, because they
were trying to accomplish very different things with their music. But I
predict that the future will record that in terms of importance and musical
importance and innovation, Suman Chattopadhyay is the most significant
thing to have happened to the Bengali song ever since Rabindranath.
Now hang, draw and quarter me if you like, for saying this :-)

Suman himself has said that "jeebonmukhee gan" is a meaningless
phrase (coined by some journalists) because "bhalo gan matrei
jeebonmukhee hote badhyo -- `jeebon-bimukhee gaan' byaparTa-i
borong odbhut".
If you listen carefully, Suman writes about timeless themes
-- themes that are in their own way as timeless as Tagore's
themes are. Yes, they are grounded in the here and the now,
but the emotions expressed are timeless.
Since a long time ago, mankind dreamed a dream. Over and over
in the course of human history, that dream keeps appearing
and reappearing in different guises, it cannot be quashed or
obliterated, it keeps popping up again and again like a
dangerous weed that simply will not die. Spartacus sei koto

Suman himself has said this very well. His song arises from the pressure
of the contemporary, from life's realities,

BUT that's not all there is to it. Note the next two lines:

Well, you know my opinion, Indrani. I think that comparing Suman C to a
multi-faceted genius like Rabindranath is not only downright silly, but
is also unfair to Suman Chatterjee, himself.

I wasn't comparing Suman the man with Tagore the man (which I agree
is silly). I was comparing Suman's impact on the Bengali song with
Tagore's impact on the Bengali song, which is a different matter
altogether.
Btw, in today's fragmented society, multi-faceted geniuses are no longer
possible.

OK. These are the reasons I agree with Sayan regarding his posting.
(1) I don't think he was comparing the _talents_ (whatever they are) of RT
and SC. Rather, he was emphasizing the _effect_ their appearance and work has
had on Bengali society. IMO, Suman's work as a popular "singer-songwriter" (by
itself a role pretty new in our society) who gives voice to the needs and
frustrations of lower-middle and middle class Bengali youth _is_ significant.
We don't need to wait fifty years in order to surmise that.
(2) Let me say that I, personally, have not had the pleasure of seeing Suman
in concert. But, from what I have heard from my siblings and friends who have -
Suman, in concert, is a phenomenon. The level of intimacy and personal interaction
established therein is something that we may have lost with the demise (arguably)
of the "jatra" and the "kobi-r loDai".

Not really, Indrani. You are forgetting RT himself. You are forgetting the
entire tradition of, er..., `sub-altern' music.
>who gives voice to the needs and
>frustrations of lower-middle and middle class Bengali youth _is_ significant.
`Giving voice...' is, in itself, an important thing. But, does that
necessarily have a bearing on the `music'? By the same token, we could,
perhaps, be comparing a musician to a newspaper-man.
>We don't need to wait fifty years in order to surmise that.
Here, I am afraid, we must agree to disagree. I believe that its too early
to judge Suman's contribution to Bengali music, in comparison with that of
RT, even if such a comparison can be made.

Again, `intimacy and personal interaction' is not essential to music.
But, I understand what you are saying - but for each of your friend,
I'll show you one of mine who found the `phenomenon' a bit too much
to digest. :)

What do you mean by "the man"? Is it the composer and lyrics writer or
is it the person in his entirety?

Was tagore's impact on bengali songs well understood in his times? Today
after more than 50 years of his death (and remember he died at a ripe old
age of 80), his impact is still an issue of debate and study. How can you already
compare Suman's, who is possibly in his late forties and writing or singing
(well his own compositions) for not more than last 10-20 years possibly,
impact on bengali songs with RT?

My experience was mixed. Some pretty bad. I don't blame him. Could have been
overflow of emotion (if his fans can have so much). But that goes to the
point of being a good showman. Is it impact on bengali songs?

Welcome to the "free market", Snehasis. Didn't you know that in the
"free market", freedom of choice exists only for those who have the
money to afford it?
For example, in a "free" society, newspapers are free -- there is
freedom of press and we are oh-so-proud of it! But in the same "free"
society, millions of people are so poor that they can hardly eat,
much less afford the money to buy a newspaper. Does the poor man
(or woman) in a "free" society have the right to read a newspaper?
Sure, she does. Can she do so in practise? No, because the freedom
to buy the newspaper belongs only to those who can afford to buy it.
So, you see, Snehasis, there is no such thing as a free poor man (or
a free poor woman), even in a society which pays lip-service to freedom,
until there is social and economic equity.

1. I don't see the cause and effect here. Could you please explain?
2. I could say that multi-faceted genius was always truly exceptional.
How many can you name? How many can you name who were as broad in their
creative realm as Rabindranath?
3. I could say that all genius is multi-faceted. :-)
4. I could say society was always fragmented as far as history goes back.
And the only geniuses we know of were in fragmented society.
5. On second thoughts, never mind. :-) But have a think.

>1. I don't see the cause and effect here. Could you please explain?
In pre-industrial-capitalist society, an individual in society necessarily has
to perform many different roles. Consider, for example, a pre-industrial
folk musician: this person probably would have a little plot of land
or perhaps would work as a sharecropper, and would also make some money
by singing, and would also, perhaps, work a loom as a weaver. In his
back yard he will probably also grow a few garden vegetables (the kumRo
on the kumRo-macha) etc. In short, he is playing _many_ different roles.
With the rise of industrial capitalism, comes valorization of the concept of
division of labor. The best example of this is that remarkable notion
of the assembly line, brought to perfection by Henry Ford in America.
Here every person plays a very distinct, highly specialized role
(recall Chaplin in Modern Times). The nature of work changes in capitalism
with the migration of labor from the village to the factory. The emphasis
is no longer on doing many different things, but on developing one single
specialized marketable skill.
The economic base (substructure) determines the cultural superstructure
of a society. Consequently the above phenomenon is reflected in the
cultural production of society as well. This is why we get polymath
geniuses like a Leonardo da Vinci (a product of pre-industrial Italian
mercantile capitalism) or a Rabindranath Tagore (a product of pre-industrial
Indian colonial feudalism) in pre-industrial societies, but in industrialized
societies we rarely have multifaceted persons any more. The emphasis now
is on doing one thing and doing it well, i.e. on finding your niche. (You
find this in academia as well -- in the twentieth century the trend is towards
establishing your little reseach niche rather than on spreading yourself out
too much, whereas in earlier centuries university academics used to be much
more versatile: Descartes, for example, was a mathematician as well as
scientist, philosopher, theologian and essayist; Francis Bacon was a
philosopher as well as a scientist who invented gunpowder!)
