I was introduced to Shyamal Mitra’s song by Salil Chowdhury’s song “Jodi kichu amare shudhao”. Shyamal Mitra was born on January 14, 1929, in Gohati, West Bengal. Like singer Nusrat Fateh Ali’s Father, his father wanted him to be a doctor. But what the person who get the blessing of mu-sic, can any other addiction affect him? Seeing artist in him, Singer Sathinath Mukherjee (while he was college) inspired him to persue his career in calcutta. Then Sudhirlal Chakraborty picked up and helped him to start his career with Akashbai (Radio). Then he introduced himself as music composer, music director, producer.
