Sumitra sen wiki

Bengal's iconic singer and Rabindra sangeet exponent, Sumitra Sen, breathed her last at her residence in Kolkata on Tuesday.

She was 89 and was hospitalised for broncho-pneumonia in December.

After a prolonged stay, she was brought home on Monday.

Her daughters, Srabani and Indrani, are exponents of Tagore songs, but they are also known for their renditions of other Bengali songs, including those written and composed by Kazi Nazrul Islam.

Their mother was, however, an icon in the world of Rabindra sangeet (songs written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore), along with Kanika Bandyopadhyay, Suchitra Mitra and other legendary singers who left this world much before.
