The mystic artist Chandana Majumdar, who through three decades of devotion to melody has earned a permanent seat in the world of Lalon or folk music, is a proud member of the famous musical family of Kundupara in Kumarkhali, Kushtia.
Her father Nirmal Chandra Majumdar was an extremely accomplished vocal artist and music director. Her late mother Anima Majumdar was also a person fond of music.
Chandana's first initiation into song came from her father. Her singing began essentially with Nazrul songs. Chandana Majumdar's father was a Lalon and folk music artist. At her father's wish, Chandana began her artistic life with Nazrul songs. She took lessons in Nazrul and classical songs under Ustad Yakub Ali Khan. Enrolling at the Nazrul Parishad, she completed a five-year course in Nazrul songs.
At one time Chandana Majumdar turned towards Lalon songs. The Lalon melodies of Farida Parveen, the queen of mystic songs, drew her towards Lalon songs. She took three years of lessons in Lalon's songs under Moksed Ali Sai. Afterwards she spent a long time taking lessons in Lalon songs under the late Khoda Bakhsh Sai. In her personal life she sat on the bridal seat with the country's renowned musician Kiran Chandra Ray in 1989. The artist couple's only child is Shatabdi Ray. Alongside his studies, Shatabdi Ray also practises music.
A devotee of uninterrupted melody for three long decades, Chandana Majumdar is at present working as a senior teacher in the folk music department of Chhayanaut.
