Cinemaazi remembers Suprabha Sarkar on her birth anniversary
One of the most sought after and celebrated playback singers of her time, Suprava or Suprabha Ghosh was one of the many artists of the early cinema era whose legacy is lost or forgotten by the admirers of Indian cinema and their following generations. Starting her career at the early age of thirteen, she is said to have actively contributed her voice to numerous Bengali film soundtracks throughout the 1940s and 50s, and even later. The later part of her life was marked by teaching Nazrul Geeti to several artists.
