Born in 1953 in Calcutta, Ajoy Chakrabarty is one of the finest classical vocalists of today. His style of singing follows the teachings of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, the doyen of the Patiala gharana. From 1969 he learned with Bade Ghulam Ali Khan's son, Munawar Ali Khan and he applies these lessons well. Ajoy Chakrabarty also has recorded regional and devotional song forms. ~ Ken Hunt, Rovi
