Dipali Barthakur (30 January 1941 – 21 December 2018) was an Indian singer from Assam. Her songs were sung mainly in the Assamese language.[1] She received the fourth-highest civilian award of India, the Padma Shri, in the year 1998.[2]

Early life[edit]

Barthakur was born in 1941 to Bishwanath Borthakur and Chandrakanti Devi[3] in Sonari at Sivasagar, Assam.[4][5]

Musical career[edit]

Barthakur started her career as a singer early. When she was studying in class nine, in 1958, she sang the song "Mor Bopai Lahori" on All India Radio, Guwahati,[4] and the song "Joubone Amoni Kore Chenaidhon" for the film Lachit Borphukan (1959).[6]

Personal life[edit]

Barthakur sang her last song "Luito nejabi boi" in 1969.[4] After that she began suffering from a severe motor neuron disease which hindered her singing and forced her to use a wheelchair. In 1976 she married Neel Pawan Barua, an eminent Indian artist and painter from Assam and son of renowned Assamese writer Binanda Chandra Barua.[1][7]

Barthakur died on 21 December 2018 at Nemcare Hospital, Guwahati, after a prolonged illness.[8] She was known as "Nightingale of Assam".[9]

Awards[edit]

Barthakur was honored many times, most notably with the Padma Shri award for folk and traditional music in 1990–92.
