Sapan Chakraborty also variously cited as
Swapan Chakraborty,
Sapan Chakravorty,
Sapan Chakravarty or simply
Sapan is a
Bengali Indian
music composer who composed music for
Bollywood Hindi and
Bengali films. He was also a music assistant of
Rahul Dev Burman and an occasional
playback singer. He also penned a number of lyrics for songs in Burman's Bengali film and
Durga Puja special albums, along with those in films for which he was the composer. In terms of compositional style, the ecletic influences of his guru Rahul Dev Burman are present in his creations, including the funk classic "Baby Let's Dance Together" from the 1978 movie
Shalimar (the only song in the film not composed by Burman). Sapan Chakraborty is not to be confused with Sapan Dasgupta of the Sapan-Jagmohan composer duo.
