  • 11 years ago
Susmit Bose (born Nov. 1, 1950) is an Indian musician whose songs often deal with social issues; human rights, global peace and non-violence. He has been making music since the 1970's and has also been involved in making documentaries and films on socio-cultural aspects of India. After a hiatus of 25 years, he got back to the studio to record his critically acclaimed album "Public Issue" in 2006.

Singing in English, he is considered by many as a source of social change for the generation of English educated Indians around the country and abroad.

'Song of the Eternal Universe', released in 2008, is an experimental album with the Bauls and is a follow up to the hugely successful 'Public Issue' and "Be the Change" released in 2006 and 2007 respectively. Public Issue was his return to the studio after many years. In 2009 he released "Rock 4 Life", a rock album on HIV /AIDS with eight Rock bands from the eight States in North East India. He also released his album 'Essentially Susmit Bose' in 2009. "Song of Dharma", the story of Mahabharat in song was to be released in 2010.

This was a performance for World AIDS day in Delhi in 1996. World AIDS Day, observed on 1 December every year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. Government and health officials observe the day, often with speeches or forums on the AIDS topics. Since 1995, the President of the United States has made an official proclamation on World AIDS Day. Governments of other nations have followed suit and issued similar announcements.
