}}Hemanga Biswasa ({{lang-bn|হেমাঙ্গ বিশ্বাস}}; 14 December 1912 – 22 November 1987) was a Bengali singer, composer, author and political activist, known for his advocacy of peoples music, drawing from genres of folk music, including Bhatiali originally popular among the fishermen of Bengal. He was born in Habiganj, Assam Province, British India on 14 December 1912. He was admitted with respiratory problems to PG Hospital and died in Calcutta on 22 November 1987.[2]

Early life

Biswasa was born in Habiganj, Assam, British India (now in Bangladesh) on 14 December 1912 to Harakumar and Sarojini Biswasa. He went to the Middle English School in Habiganj. He studied in the George Institution of Dibrugarh from 1925 to 1927 when Nilmoni Phukan was its headmaster and there he got attracted to Assamese culture. He passed his Entrance in 1930 from Habiganj Government High School. He also studied in MC College, Sylhet in 1930–31.{{Citation needed span|text=I'm not even sure that these sentences are grammatically correct at times, and they're way too short to be logical sentences as opposed to a laundry list.

At this stage he started performing "gana sangeet." He did not complete his formal education, and Biswasa became involved in a movement to ensure the rights of tea garden labourers, farmers, and the underprivileged throughout the region. For his political convictions, he was arrested in 1930.

Musical Work

Hemanga Biswasa was responsible for a number of popular Bengali songs. A fierce debate once ensued between Salil Choudhury and him on the method of translating the ideal of people's art:[3]

He sang a duet with Bhupen Hazarika, Debabrata Biswas and Pete Seeger. Through his music, he had hoped to motivate the masses to fight for their rights, for them to be united, and for them to be vocal against any form of corruption. His beliefs in equal rights for all led him to repeatedly try to request and urge the then Congress Government headed by Siddhartha Shankar Roy to extend a helping hand to the labour class people. Banchbo Re Banchbo Amra was composed to motivate the labourers to improve their standard of living. His translation of The Internationale into Bengali and his singing of such songs as Amra Karbo Joy, Ajadi Hoyni Tor, and Negro Bhai Amar had aided the Bengali leftist movement.[4][5]

He was influenced by the Bengali styles of Bhawaiya and Bhatiali, and coined his own style that combined those folk traditions with the Sylhet culture's, which he called Bahirana.[6]

Movies

Hemanga Biswasa was the playback singer in Meghe Dhaka Tara (The Cloud Capped Star) (1960), Lalon Fakir (Deha Tari Dilam Chhariyo), Utpal Datta's Kallol, and Komal Gandhar.[7]
