Kabir Suman first self composed album hit the market in 1992 and almost overnight, he became a cult figure, especially among the young people.

Over the last 9 years he has been accepted in West Bengal as a pioneer who transformed the modern Bengali song by making it truly contemporary and global. Till now, he has over two hundred recorded and published songs to his credit, including songs for children, for the theatre and for films. He has written the score for 5 films, and one of them got him the Best Music Director and Best Lyricist award.

He happens to be the only singer-songwriter in the Indian subcontinent with whom the great American folk singer Mr. Pete Seeger performed jointly on two concerts, held in Kolkata in 1996. Mr. Pete Seeger also did the background music for Mr. Sudipto Chatterjee’s documentary film on “Suman, Free to Sing”. Apart from giving concert tours all over India, Bangladesh, USA and Australia, Suman was invited by the Voice  of Germany to compose a ballad in Bangla, commemorating  the Tenth Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and to perform it before an international audience in Cologne in 1999.

He has recently participated in the first time ever Internet Opera, Virtopera, along with  the counter tenor Richard Maxwell and Jane Bogart under the direction of the famous German composer, Mr. Eberhard Schoener.

Anjan Dutt singer, composer, actor and director has been singing for a decade now and Bengal considers him another pioneer in music who talks about modern life and living, the angst of our times. Anjan in his varied career has worn many hats and he still does.
