29 December - Deenanath Mangeshkar birth anniversary

 


Deenanath Mangeshkar was an accomplished classical singer and theater actor from India. He was born on 29 December 1900  in the town of Mangeshi in Goa, which was then part of Portuguese India. Deenanath Mangeshkar was the father of the legendary Mangeshkar siblings—Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Usha Mangeshkar, and Hridaynath Mangeshkar—all of whom went on to achieve great success in the Indian music industry.

Deenanath Mangeshkar had a significant influence on his children's early musical training. He was well-versed in classical music and played a crucial role in shaping the musical careers of his daughters. Lata Mangeshkar, in particular, became one of the most celebrated playback singers in Indian cinema.

Tragically, Deenanath Mangeshkar passed away on 24 April 1942, when his children were still young. Despite his untimely death, his legacy continued through the remarkable achievements of his talented offspring in the field of music. The Mangeshkar family is considered a musical dynasty in Indian cinema, with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle being two of the most iconic and revered playback singers in the history of Indian music.
