Haimanti Shukla
Haimanti Sukla is a famous Bengali singer who has created a niche of its own in Bengali Music Scene. She is a very versatile singer and possesses great rhythm and voice modulations. She has got a charming voice and she inherited the musical genes from her father Late Pandit Harihar Shukla. The tradition of Indian Classical Music in her family , helped her in developing the foundation for music in her golden voice.
The charm in her voice was soon recognized in the year 1972 with her first recording " E to kanna noy aamar " lyrics and music given by the famous Shailen Mukhopadhyay and Pulak Bandhopadhyay. But much before that she had carved out a special image for herself in the sections of Khayal, Thumris and Bhajans being a regular performer on the AIR. Though there was depth and charm in her voice she too had to go through hard times in the process of making a firm ground for herself in the industry. Then came a chance in her life that changed everything for her.
It was her magical voice and her undiminished sincerity in music that she became a favorite of the likes of musical maestros Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Pt Ravi Shankar, Pt Bhimsen Joshi, Ustad Alla Rakha Khan and Naushad. Apart from these exponents of classical music , great composers like Hemanta Mukherjee, Salil Chaudhuri and Manna Dey scored memorable music for her. She has got a number of film and non-films songs to her credit.
She is the recipient of prestigious 'Mian Tansen Award' and 'Sur Shringer Award'.
Haimanti Shukla has a history of three decades of a successful musical profession. Yet she is considered to be one of the modern singers of today. From Classical Music to Modern songs - she performs it with a seemingly effortless manner that has made her so popular among all classes of music lovers. Her rich musical lineage, experience, and repertoire has made her a successful and entertaining live concert singer as well.
Gaanmela.com aptly reported - "Singers of her stature should be a lesson for the newcomers who are more concerned about how they look on stage, rather than how far they are eligible to sing with perfection. " Her devotion for true music is exemplary.
