'''Dinendranath Tagore''' (16 December 1882– 21 July 1935), also known as '''Dinu Thakur''', was a [[Bengali language|Bengali]] musician,noted singer and a poet.<ref name = "Samsad">Samsad Bengali Charitabhidhan (Vol.I) ( Biographical Dictionary) edited by Subodhchandra Sengupta & Anjali Bose, August,2016 Edition,Page 283 {{ISBN|978-81-7955-135-6}}</ref><br />

He codified many of the tunes that would appear impetuously to Rabindranath. He served as principal of [[Visva-Bharati]]'s Music school, ''[[Sangit Bhavana]]'' for its opening years.<ref>[http://www.visva-bharati.ac.in/GreatMasters/Contents/DinendranathTagore.htm Dinendranath Tagore] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204070144/http://visva-bharati.ac.in/GreatMasters/Contents/DinendranathTagore.htm |date=4 December 2010 }} [[Visva-Bharati University]] website.</ref><br />
He was the first person who introduced the songs of Tagore as the name of [[Rabindra Sangeet]].<br />
<br />
Dinendranath was son of Sushila Devi and Dwipendranath Tagore, Grandson of Dwijendranath Tagore, the eldest brother of Rabindranath and was born into the culturally rich environment of the [[Jorasanko Thakur Bari]] of the [[Tagore family]]. He was particularly well-trained in [[Hindustani classical music]], and many early [[Rabindra Sangeet]] renderings in his baritone voice can be found in archives and recordings. For recording the melodies, he primarily used the sargam notation newly formalised by [[Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande]], but he was equally well versed in the Western staff notation. Many Ashramites and contemporaries recall that whenever a particularly haunting note was thought by Rabindranath, he always looked around for Dinu to have it noted. Perhaps for this reason, he was affectionately and respectfully called "Amar gaaner bhandari" [the keeper of my songs] by Rabindranath himself. Dinendranath could play a number of Eastern and Western musical instruments also, notable being the esraj and piano.<br />
<br />
He was also involved with a number of dance dramas of Tagore, including a tour performing ''Taser Desh'' (Land of cards) to [[Bombay]] in 1933. He also composed the music for the film ''[[Natir Puja]]'' in 1932.<br />
