Guwahati, Oct.19 : Believe it or not, at an age when kids barely start learning jingles at neighbourhood crŠches, a three-year-old kid from Guwahati has finished her solo audio album.
Aasthajitananda Bordoloi is a born singing artist and blessed with an extraordinary voice. The fact was admired by legendry Assamese singer Bhupen Hazarika who recently called here a wonder girl.
So much so, HMV . the leading music record company in the country, has brought out an audio CD of songs rendered by her.Composer Anandji of Kalyanji-Anandji fame from Mumbai released the audio CD at a well-attended function in Guwahati on Wednesday (Oct.17).
Anandji appreciated Aasthajitananda by saying that it was amazing that a child without any musical background or formal training could sing so well.
"Today, I have come here for Astha (Aasthajitananda). Unfortunately I am amazed after seeing it (her talent). This is true that nobody can be taught singing, at this age it is natural," said Anandji.
Aasthajitananda Bordoloi's solo audio-video CD, "Tumar Ganor Kulat" meaning in the lap of your songs, contains eight evergreen numbers of the legendry singer Bhupen Hazarika.
During the launch, the kid presented a stage show and enthralled the audience with her wonderful performance.
"The record is that such a young artist has never been recorded. Neither a CD has been launched. So this is like a record and she is the youngest artist signed by SA RE GA MA HMV," said Karim, an executive of HMV.
Elorananda Bordoloi, Aasthajitananda's mother recalled that when her daughter was barely a-year-old, she had no problem uttering big words with clarity. She has a good command over pronouncing even the most difficult words used in songs.
"She has been singing despite being so young. She wants to learn singing. The songs that she watches on TV, she doesn't like easy songs. When she was a small kid and we sang Lori (lullabies) to her, she used to cry a lot," said Elorananda Bordoloi, mother of Aasthajitananda.
Aasthajitananda is presently learning music from Sur Sangam Sangeet Mahavidyalaya and also sings many songs composed by the late Rahul Dev Burman.
She enthralled the audience at Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra with "Tera mujh se hai naata koi" on the 68th birth anniversary of R.D. Burman.
On March 16, Aasthajitananda had recorded two popular Assamese songs - "Asomire Chutalote" and "Bistirna Parore".
