Rabindranath Tagore was not primarily a musician but a polymath known for his contributions to literature, music, and art. Born on May 7, 1861, in Calcutta, India, he is celebrated as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, and painter. Tagore is renowned for his poetic songs, which are deeply rooted in Bengali culture and have been influential across the Indian subcontinent. He composed over 2,000 songs, many of which are still widely sung today. His compositions include the national anthems of India ("Jana Gana Mana") and Bangladesh ("Amar Shonar Bangla"). While not a traditional musician, his work in music is integral to his broader artistic legacy.
The releases listed appear to be interpretations or adaptations of his works rather than original compositions by Tagore himself. His legacy continues to inspire artists and musicians, and his songs remain a vital part of cultural heritage in India and Bangladesh.
