Gifted
with a mellifluous voice and an ever growing urge to
dig deep into the roots of the various streams of Bangla
Gaan, Delhi-based Jayati Ghosh is one of the popular
names in the Bangla art circle. At a time when, for
the Probasi Bangalies of the capital, the flavour of
Puratani melodies had almost gone into oblivion, it
was Jayati’s concerted efforts, her impeccable
presentation skills, and the vastness of her collection
of songs of the golden-age-Bengal that brought the refreshing
air, the nostalgia among the music lovers. Her first
Guru in the stream of classical music was her mother,
Krishna Roy and later she underwent training in Hindustani
classical vocal music under Sankar Ghosal. It was Goutam
Adhikari who brought her in the field of Rabindra Sangeet
and pursued further training under the guidance of Master
Mahasaya Shri Sudhir Chanda. She has been doing Rabindra
Sangeet programmes regularly either with Rabigeetika
group or independently. Her own compositions also include
the composers other than Tagore. A versatile singer,
she has been an instant hit at the platform of Padabali
Kirtan, Tappa, Songs from the Plays of yesteryears etc.
The popular albums which she has done with Avery Chourey,
is ‘Bhalobasar Jonne’ and ‘Swapone
Tahare’.
