My family is from Shantiniketan , India and I grew up with Tagore’s rich music blended with poems and lyrics. I studied and practiced Tagore’s music all my life. I vocalized the songs of Tagore with professional musicians all from Nashville. The 12 songs that I vocalized were composed by Tagore in Bengali, but the CD contains a booklet with translations of all twelve songs in English. It also contains prints of paintings of famous artists from India and never been published before.
Because of my passion in Tagore’s music and love for children, the proceeds from the sale of CDs are being donated to the Children’s Cancer Research Funds at Vanderbilt University; $1,476 was donated in 2005.
