Singer Raghab Chatterjee rocked Zee Bangla Mirakkel Program.

Raghab Chatterjee. Successful Bengali singer Raghab Chatterjee rocked Zee Bangla Mirakkel Program on 21st March, 2012. Raghab Chatterjee had been invited to be the guest judge in Zee Bangla Mirakkel Program. He had achieved a lot at a very early age. Raghab Chatterjee had successful albums released in the last 10 years including Bhorer Alo, Tumi Nei Bole, Amar Akash, Shamiana, etc. He had sung songs in successful bollywood films like Parineeta, Raincoat, Tere Naam, Devdas, etc. He glorified Bengali films with his successful songs in Patalghor, Subhadrishti, Bandan, Chaturanga, to name a few. Mir Afsar Ali asked him about his experience in singing in stage shows in India and abroad. In reply Raghab Chatterjee said that whenever he had sung in stage shows in India, people generally considered him a close person and a good singer. When he did shows in USA, Hongkong and other countries, there was a different experience. Indians and especially bengalies thought he had been a relative of eminent classical singer Manobendra Mukherjee or Dhananjoy Bhattacharya who glorified Bengali classical songs during the golden age that is 50s and 60s. Raghab Chatterjee a lot of classical touch, so the Indians abroad used to thing unless he had music in his genes it was not possible to sing with classical touch in these days when classical singers had got outdated. Raghab Chatterjee appreciated all the performers in the program including Sangeet Tiwary, Palash Adhikari, Fatik Purokayet (Maduli) and others. The other judges Paran Banerjee, Rajatavo Dutta and Srilekha Mitra appreciated Raghab Chatterjee’s singing in the show.
