chandrima (Female Singer): November 2009

It would be rather beating my own drums but to be humble enough I'd introduce myself as I'd like to be introduced in various Live shows as under:"Chandrima Bhattacharya more popular as Chandrima from valleys of Assam is maestro with her sonata of melodious numbers and a touch of elegance.She is a regular performer in All India Radio, Yuvabani, Guwahati. Her repertoire on Modern Music of Hindi and Bengali songs have taken her to many live shows in various places of Assam, West Bengal including landmark events like Teesta Festival of North Bengal, Bihu Celebration in Assam and Haldia Utsav of Bengal. She stands out with her wide popularity for Bhojpuri folk performance from the Tata Steel city to her spiritual Bhajans in religious cradle of Mathura/Vrindaban. Her duet Hindi musical performances with Vinod Rathode, Amit Kumar, Javed Ali, Kumar Sanu, Mohd Aziz, Aneek, Eman, Shreya Ghosal and Anuradha Padwal has drawn the crowd from the cultural Mix of Mahajati Sadan, Kolkata to the cosy indoors of overseas Bangabandhu International Convention Centre, Dhaka. She is well acclaimed for her soft hip swaying numbers in various corporate shows including premiere IndianOil live show in New Delhi, Guwahati, Haldia and Mathura.Her wide repertoire earned her various accolades and recorded Jingles and title music of TV serials. Her performance in duet play back singing in Bengali Movie has earned appreciation from her co-star Raghav and leading music directors of Bengal.Gifted with melodious & sweet voice she performed in DD Bangla, Zee TV Bangla, CTV Plus as well as NE Bangla TV channels.

Chandrima in her ensuing album released by Raaga Music Company Kolkata has constructed bridge between two worlds of Present and Past, where the memories rub shoulders with its surreal existence. In this album titled “Tribute to Legends”, she cherry picked some forgotten numbers of yesteryears Bengali Modern Music and Film songs which though obscured by clouds of time, left indelible footprints down memory lane. The album was released on auspicious day of Bengali New Year 1417 (15^th April 2010) by the legend “Manna Dey” in a programme, also graced by singer Aarti Mukherjee besides other stars and starlets. The octogenarian, Dada Saheb Phalke awardee, Manna Dey in his signature keynote underlined, the songs like “Kancher Churir Chhota” and “Koi Go Koi Amar Bokul Phul” as songs of wonderyears which can still do magic even today or years to come.

Recognition touched her earlier in 2006, when her maiden Album of Modern Bengali Songs named “Sapnaneel” was released by Prime Music Company of Kolkata. Chandrima remains indifferent to all such recognitions and accolades as her voice continues to be aired on various Television Serials and Regional FM channels. She, as an ambassador of IndianOil Family member, is however deeply touched with other social issues and poignantly working on greater social cause of underprivileged persons in her association with Society of Lions Club International.
