A unique collection of rare mass songs by Salil Chowdhury, written between 1944 and 1951, has at last been published after extensive research and overcoming unprecedented obstacles by Gautam Choudhury, the creator of the website www.salilda.com , the most authentic and complete reference site for all admirers of “Salilda”.
The principle singers include the members of Bharatiya Gananatya Sangha (Indian Peoples’ Theatre Association) with students of Rabindra Bharati University providing the harmony. Some of the best musicians from Kolkata participated in this recording, which took nearly two years to complete. The music is arranged by Dr Goutam Ghosh,head of Instrumental Music, Rabindra Bharati University who knew Salil Chowdhury quite well and has an excellent understanding of his musical style.
