Bengali Modern & Adhunik
Classics of the golden era of Bengali music alongside her own contemporary releases — sung with attention to diction, mood and the storytelling that makes Bengali songwriting distinctive.
About Banasri Ghoshal
Banasri Ghoshal is a Kolkata-based vocalist whose life has been shaped by music from her earliest years. She began formal training at the age of three, and more than two decades of disciplined riyaz have given her a voice equally at home in a devotional gathering, a classical recital, a wedding mandap and a film studio.
Her repertoire moves easily between worlds — Shyama Sangeet and bhajans sung with genuine devotional feeling, golden-era Bengali and Hindi melodies, Rabindra-era classics, and contemporary Bengali releases carried on her own YouTube channel. Whatever the form, the intention is the same: to let the lyric breathe and to let the audience feel it.
Beyond the stage, Banasri is a teacher and a mentor. Several of her students now perform and record professionally, and she has served as a judge on televised singing competitions, where her feedback is known for being exacting but generous.
She has performed across India and overseas, including in Canada, and her work has been covered by newspapers and news channels in Bengal, Tripura and beyond.

Milestones
From a three-year-old learning her first sargam to a performer whose tribute recordings are carried by the national press, Banasri’s path has been steady rather than sudden. Her 2021 tribute to Manna Dey on his 102nd birth anniversary — a rendition of Ke Prothom Kachhe Esechi recorded with her student Laxman Soni — was reported by Tripura Today and other outlets, and remains one of the most-watched releases on her channel.
In 2024 she sat on the judging panel of Bengal Idol Season 1, presented by SP Entertainment, joining a bench of respected artists to select the season’s finalists.
What She Performs
Classics of the golden era of Bengali music alongside her own contemporary releases — sung with attention to diction, mood and the storytelling that makes Bengali songwriting distinctive.
Devotional repertoire for pujas, temple programmes, Kali Puja and Durga Puja evenings — performed with the restraint and feeling that this form demands.
A broad Hindi film repertoire spanning the classic playback era through to modern soundtracks, including tribute renditions of Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.
Trained from the age of three in Hindustani classical technique — the foundation beneath every other form she performs.
Song selections built for each ceremony of a Bengali or North Indian wedding, from the gaye holud morning to the reception evening.
Structured vocal training for serious learners, several of whom now record and perform professionally. Group and one-to-one formats, online and in person.
“A song is not finished when the last note ends — it is finished when someone in the audience carries it home.” That belief shapes every set list Banasri builds, whether for an intimate baithak of forty people or an open-air stage of four thousand.
