The daughter of Bengali parents, BISHI's latest album, is Let My Country Awake, a title inspired by and using a poem of Rabindranath Tagore - another polymath and the cultural father of modern Bengal - in fact, her mother, Susmita is an acclaimed classical Indian singer, and also an expert in the music of Tagore.
