Timeline
Kamal Dasgupta (1912-1974), a singer, Nazrul song composer and music director, was born on 28 July 1912 in Narail, Jessore of then British India (now Bangladesh).
Kamal Dasgupta matriculated in 1928 from Calcutta Academy and later completed B. Com. from Comilla Victoria college.
In 1935 Kamal Dasgupta joined the Gramophone Company of India as a music director. During his term there, he developed a close association with Kazi Nazrul Islam and composed the music for almost four hundred of his songs.
He earned his Doctorate in Music from Benaras Hindu University in 1943 for his work on Mira Bai, the composer and singer of Bhajans. His early inspiration came from his father, Tara Prasanna Dasgupta. He took his first music lessons from his brother, Bimal Dasgupta. Later he studied under Dilip Kumar Roy, Kana Kesta, and Ustad Jamiruddin Khan. Kamal Dasgupta was a versatile musical genius. He sang modern songs in Bengali, Urdu, Hindi, and Tamil. He was also a brilliant composer, composing the music for about eight thousand songs. His work was based on classical music and tended towards the Thungri style, though he also drew inspiration from other sources. Kamal Dasgupta composed the music for about eighty Bangla films, among them Tufan Mail, Jhamelar Prem, Ei Ki Go Shes Dan.
The gramophone records for which Kamal Dasgupta composed music were very popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Among his songs still popular today are 'Sanjher taraka ami' (I am the star of twilight), 'Prthivi Amare Chay' (The world needs me), and 'Ami bhorer Juthika' (I am the jasmine of morning).
In 1956 he was converted to Islam and took the name Kamal Uddin Ahmed. He married Feroza Begum, a renowned Nazrul songs singer in the same year. They have three sons, Tahsin Ahmed, Hamin Ahmed and Shafin Ahmed. The later two are also popular singer themselves.
His last film as a music director was Badhu Bharan (1967). He also composed the background music for an American film, War Propaganda. His active life as a composer covered about fourteen years. His unique contribution in music is his invention of a shorthand method for swaralipi (notations).
