Anjan Dutt, affectionately known as "Darjeeling Dutta", embarked upon a remarkable journey in the world of Indian cinema, simultaneously donning the hats of a director, actor, and singer-songwriter, all while carving out a distinctive niche for himself within the 1990s Bengali music landscape.
This enigmatic figure, born on January 19, 1953, left an indelible mark on the alternative music scene, aptly referred to as "anyodharar gaan", which drew inspiration from the rustic, earthy tones of Western folk music.
As a masterful maestro of melody, Anjan Dutt's musical compositions are said to have been influenced by a diverse array of genres, including the soulful, emotive qualities of blues, the lively, upbeat rhythms of bluegrass, the timeless, storytelling traditions of folk music, and the laid-back, country charm of country music.
