Timeline
Alpana Mukherjee (née Banerjee) (আল্পনা মুখার্জী) (14 March 1934 – 24 July 2009) was a successful Bengali singer during the late 1940s and 1950s and onwards.
Her most noted songs are "Trader Chumki Jole Akashe" "Hatti Matim Tim", "Mon Bolchhe Aaj Sandhyay", "Chotto Pakhi Chandana" and "Ami Alpana Enke Jai Aloy Chhayay" " Akash Ar Eai Mati Oi Dure" " Jodi Oli Na chahe".
At the age of 13, Alpana was discovered by her father's close friends, Robin Chattopadhyay and Gouri Prasanna Majumdar, who were very active as music composers and lyricists respectively in the Bengali music scene at that time.
Her songs became very popular soon after.
Alpana Banerjee's major popularity derived from singing children's songs, which she transformed from simple rhymes to immortal classics.
Bengalis from the 1950s through the 1990s were raised on Alpana's classics like 'Hatti Matim Tim' or 'Chhotto Pakhi Chandana'.
Her modern songs received much more popularity.
One of the earliest and notable Bengali non-film songs sung by Alpana was "Samiran Phire Chao" under Robin Chattopadhyay's baton.
Her voice was eloquent in capturing a variety of moods ranging from the romantic "Mon Bolchhe Aaj Sandhyay", to the frivolous 'Bakul Gandhe Jodi', 'Ami Alpana Enke Jai' and sombre 'Jetha Achhe Ogo Shudhu Nirabata'.
Alpana recorded a cover version of the Hindi film song 'Albela main ek dilwala' under Sachin Dev Burman's music direction.
Soon after, in 1951, she recorded the song "Matir Ghare Aaj Nemechhe Chand Re" for the Bengali film 'Vidyasagar' with music once again by Robin Chattopadhay.
This song became remarkably popular.
Another notable Bengali film song by her, under Robin Chattopadhay's baton yet again, is "Hriday Amar Sundara Taba Paye" from the 1956 film 'Sagarika'.
The regular version of this song was sung by Asha Bhonsle in the 1957 Hindi film 'Miss India'.
She also sang with Lata Mangeshkar under the direction of Pandit Ravi Shankar.
She was often the guest of honour at Bengali music functions, TV programmes, and on AIR (All India Radio) programmes.
On All India Radio'-Calcutta's 'Ramyageeti' program, she sang songs tuned by internationally renowned Sarod player Ali Akbar Khan.
She also toured most of the North Indian Radio stations singing in chain programs with All India Radio.
She was noted to have given performances in all corners of West Bengal.
Besides touring within India and West Bengal, she also extensively toured in England.
She performed at Durga Puja functions in places like Hampstead Town Hall, Belsize Park, King's Cross and gave performances at Bengali communities in Bradford, Leeds, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, West Ham, Seven Sisters, Finsbury Park, Islington, etc. She was interviewed by BBC London on several occasions.
Alpana Banerjee was married to Sridhar Mukherjee and resided in Calcutta, West Bengal, India.
She got married in 1959 and celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary in 2009.
She is survived by two children and two grandchildren.
Her daughter lives in Chelsea, London and her son in Mumbai, India.
