about
Moushumi Bhowmik (Bengali: মৌসুমী ভৌমিক) is an Indian Bengali singer and songwriter. Her songs are usually considered to belong to the "আধুনিক গান" genre, which is a term used in the Indian and Bangladeshi music scene, literally translated in English as "Modern Songs". She has released three albums of her own songs in the last twelve years and has performed in many places in India, Bangladesh and Europe. Moushumi has also composed for Bengali documentary and art cinema, the most recent film Matir Moyna (The Clay Bird, dir. Tareque Masud) having won the Critics' Prize at Cannes in 2002 and Best Music at Kara Film Festival, Karachi in 2003. Some of Moushumi's songs, such as Ami Shunechhi Sedin (aka Shopno Dekhbo Bole) and Joshor Road, have become like anthems for contemporary Bengali listeners, especially in Bangladesh. In 2002, she formed Parapar with Oliver Weeks, which has since expanded into a 5-piece band with members in London and Kolkata. www.parapar.co.uk User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
