Krishna Chatterjee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krishna Chatterjee is a famous Bengali singer. She recorded mainly for the HMV label and has done very few performances in the course of her career. She presently resides in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Chatterjee has specialised in singing the songs of Rajanikanto Sen, commonly known as "KantoKabi", as well as songs by Atulprasad Sen and Dwijendralal Roy. She is known for her unmatched perfection and total dedication in rendering such songs as "Patoki Bolea Kego" or "Bodhua Nidh nahi akhi patey". She was trained later on by Sri Dilip Kumar Roy.

Chatterjee was last heard in the early 1990s, after which she suffered from heart disease, causing her voice to deteriorate considerably.
