Princess/Singer Pratima Barua Of Kochrajbongshi Royal Family

Pratima Barua (Kamatapuri: প্ৰতিমা বৰুৱা ) (3 October 1935 – 27 December 2002) was a popular Kamatapuri folk singer from the Kochrajbongshi royal family of Gauripur in Western Assam's Dhubri district. Pratima Barua , a national awardee, best known for her immortal Kamatapuri songs Hastir Kanya and Mur Mahut Bandhure, was the daughter of Maharaja Prakritish Chandra Barua and niece of famous filmmaker Pramathesh Barua of Devdas fame.
Pratima Barua was born on October 3, 1935, in Calcutta. She pursued her early education in the city’s Gokhale Memorial School, after which she came to Assam to study at the Girls’ High School, Gauripur, home of the royal family. She mostly spent her early years in between the din of Calcutta and the soothing environments of riverside "Gadadhar" at Gauripur. Although she learned
Rabindrasangeet at school, but she never took any formal training or teaching in music except the encouraging words from her father, the shy young Pratima, though tongue-tied with fear, let her voice and the lyrics of the lokageet in Kamatapuri Language flow in tune with the strings and rhythms of the dhol, junuka, dotora, Sharinda, dhuluki and Bashi which are musical instruments in Kamatapuri culture. Kamatapuri folk song was introduced for the first time in the film Era Bator Sur. Besides the mahout songs, Barua used to sing Paul Robeson’s evergreen hit We are in the same boat brother in stage shows.
Pratima Barua was awarded the Padmashree and Sangeet Natak Akademi for her pioneering efforts in popularising Kamatapuri lokageet. A documentary flim made on her life and works by noted filmmaker Prabin Hazarika, Hastir Kanya, won national award for best biographical film in 1997, earned great appreciation and created waves at the South Asia film festival in 1998.
Kamatapuri Song also known as Bhawaiya song or Desi gaan or Kochrajbongshi song or kamatapuri Song or Goalpariya Folk song

Lyrics of some well-known Kochrajbongshi songs of Pratima Barua:

O mor hai hastir kanyare
Khaniko doya nai mahutok lagiyare
Hastir kanya, hastir kanya, bamuner nari
Mathai niya tam kalsi o
Omi hate sonar jhari omi o
O mor hai hastir kanyare
-------------------------
Tomra gaile ki ashiben, mor mahut bandhu re
Hastire naran, hastire choran,
Kakoua basher aara
Ore ki shape dongshilek bandhubak
Bandhua hoilo mor lorare
-------------------------
Lal gamcha ranga sari re
Ore tar madhye nanan dor
Ajir moto jao bandhu
Shawami ache mor
-------------------------
Lal sari le re moina, lal sari re
Tor malik bhalo re moina, lal sari re
Are laljir bari jabire moina, lal sari re

Godi, gadla pabire moina, lal sari re
