riyam Mukherji and Ritapa Bhattacharya have been buddies since primary school. Added to this is the fact that they are family-friends-cum-neighbours. Together they live in the (still fairly) pristine surroundings of Vishwa Bharati  (aka Santiniketan) the brainchild of Tagore and now a conspicuous Central University within the state of West Bengal, India. They share a common lifelong passion for Rabindra sangeet (Tagore’s lyrics). To crown it all, they are still deeply in love with one another! All the more interesting when you realize that their life’s mission is to uphold the glorious lifetime achievements of their aunt Kanika Bandopadhyay the legendary exponent of Tagore’s music. The latter was familiar as Mohor (lit: gold coin, like a guinea), the name picked by none other than Tagore himself.

Your aunt was your first mentor. How did she teach you? I ask. Priyam resumes, “Music was part of our everyday life. For Boromashi teaching music was a serious business; her method was intensive.

Mohan Singh studied and specialized in classical vocal music at Sangeet Bhavana, but he hardly sang Ranbindrasangeet. For him, Rabindrasangeet was a kind of devotion and he offered Tagore’s songs as prayer and sang to himself, for his own peace of mind. He performed duets with Neelima Sen, nee, Bachchu-Di. He started learning Bengali formally, then graduated to reading Tagore’s works, listening to his composition and then gradually fell head over heels in love with the creator himself!

There is an uncanny similarity of gayaki (rendition) between Mohan Singh and his guru, Santidev Ghosh though he was never formally trained in Rabindrasangeet by Ghosh. Mohan Singh staunchly believes one should never copy or sing ‘like’ someone else because in doing so, the song’s originality is lost. While performing, the singer should pay utmost attention to the bhava (expression of the idea by delineating the mental state of the lyricist) and clear diction. If 10 singers realize a song and interpret the same song in their individual style, 10 variations are bound to be sung. That is the reason why the audience never tires of listening to the same song repeatedly by different artistes.
