Early life

[edit]

Shusmita Anis started playing music with her aunt at the age of five. She specializes in her uncle's (Firoza Begum's husband, Kamal Dasgupta) songs. Since an early age, Shusmita Anis has been performing on Bangladesh Television (BTV). She won the first prize in Nazrul Sangeet in 1976 in the annual national competition of performing arts, Notun Kuri, produced by BTV.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

Firoza Begum directed Shusmita Anis' first three albums. Her first album of modern Bengali songs, A Tribute to Kamal Das Gupta, was released in 1998 by Raga Music, Kolkata, India. In 2006, HMV in Kolkata, India, released her second album of Nazrul Sangeet, Chand Herichey Chand Mukh Tar.[1]

Agniveena, a record company in Bangladesh, released her third album, Sei Gaan Sei Sur, in 2007.[citation needed]

In 2008, Gaanchill Music, a record company in Bangladesh, released her fourth album of original Bengali songs, Ichche Nupur. Lyricist Asif Iqbal contributed to the album, while the music composition of two songs on the album was composed by Bangladeshi singers Nakib Khan and Kumar Bishwajit.[citation needed]

Her fifth album, titled Shishirer Sporshe Gatha / Sound of Seasons,[2] was released in August 2015 by New Music Paradigm Company. Shusmita Anis dedicated the album to her aunt. The album was released both in Bangladesh and in West Bengal, India. Composer Ibrar Tipu was the music director for this album. The album's making was supervised by tabla player Syed Meher Hossain, son of Ustad Zakir Hussain.[citation needed]

On 9 September 2015, commemorating the first anniversary of Firoza Begum's death, Shusmita Anis published an online extended play (EP) titled Mémoire Firoza Begum. The EP consists of original renditions of three songs, tuned by Firoza Begum. Shusmita Anis also launched the Firoza Begum Archive.[3] These Begum works collections have been downloaded from Anis' website.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
