About this source

What it is

This is an audio recording of Rabindranath Tagore singing his own composition 'Tabu Mone Rekho' ('Still Remember Me'), with Bengali lyrics about being remembered even if one goes far away or is forgotten by time. The recording was shared via Commons in 2012 but captures Tagore's own performance.

Why it matters

Tagore composed thousands of songs, known as Rabindra Sangeet, blending poetry and music, and this recording is a rare chance to hear him perform his own work. It shows his talents beyond writing, as a composer and singer shaping Bengali musical culture.
