Sabita Chowdhury

about

Sabita Chowdhury (Sabita Banerjee, 1944/1945 - 29 July, 2017) was an Indian (playback) singer. She was married to Salil Chowdhury Although Salil used Lata to revolutionize the Bengali Modern Songs with unforgettable songs like 'Na Jeo na', 'Jaa re, ja re uDe ja re paakhi', 'Ogo aar kichhu to naai' and other songs, Sabita's role was also phenomenal. I think her first recorded basic song was a Salil song 'Mori haay go haay', a beautiful song and one of my most favourite Salil songs. Sabita recorded this song in 1958 along with 'Surero ei jhar jharna'. However, with 'Ene de enede jhoomka' she really burst into the scene and became a much loved singer in Bengal. She was a perfect match for Salil and became an expert in 'Salil-Sangeet'. In fact Sabita has recorded most number of songs for Salil. Sabita did playback singing for several Hindi and Bengali films (not Salil) before she even recorded her first song for Salil. Her second recorded song was composed by Nochiketa Ghosh. In fact Nochiketa Ghosh composed two songs for Sabita. Salil wrote the lyric for one and Pulak Bandopadhaay for the other. Other music directors such as Sudhin Dasgupta also composed songs for Sabita (Lyrics and Music by Sudhin Dasgupta). Salil used Sabita for his Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, Assameese and Oriya songs as well ! "Oi jhilmil jhauer boney" was also performed for the AIR. It was the 'Song of the Month' in 1977. Sabita also performed the song "Miti miti taaraaraa" for the AIR. "Sudhu toma
