Borodin and Kabir Suman are two figures from very different musical and cultural contexts, yet they both contributed significantly to music, and your mention of “Bangla Kheyal” likely seeks to connect the classical tradition with Bengali musical evolution. Let’s break this down:

Alexander Borodin:

Borodin (1833–1887) was a Russian composer, chemist, and doctor. He is most famous as one of the members of the Mighty Handful, a group of Russian composers who sought to create a distinct national music style. His works, including symphonies, operas like Prince Igor, and chamber music, blend Russian folk melodies with European classical techniques. Borodin wasn’t directly involved with Indian classical music or Bengali musical traditions, but his work influenced global classical music.

Kabir Suman:

Kabir Suman is a Bengali singer, songwriter, and musician known for transforming Bengali music in the 1990s. He introduced a new style, called “Jibonmukhi Gaan” (songs about life), blending Western folk, blues, and modern Bengali lyrics that reflect everyday struggles, politics, and personal emotions. Suman is also known for his deep interest in various forms of music, including classical, Rabindra Sangeet, and even Indian classical traditions like kheyal.

Bangla Kheyal:

“Kheyal” is a genre of Hindustani classical music characterized by its improvisational nature, usually based on a raga. In Bengal, while Rabindra Sangeet and Nazrul Geeti are more prominent forms of music, kheyal also has a presence in classical music. Suman, with his experimental nature, could have drawn influences from classical traditions like kheyal while modernizing and localizing it in a Bengali context.

Connection:

While Borodin and Kabir Suman belong to entirely different traditions, Borodin’s music and Suman’s diverse influences highlight the rich musical heritages of Russia and Bengal, respectively. The idea of Bangla Kheyal might hint at the fusion or evolution of traditional Bengali music with elements of classical forms like kheyal.
