== Background ==<br />
Dwijendralal Ray's father was famous singer Kartikeya Chandra Ray. As a result, he grew up in a musical environment.<ref name="bdnews24"/> When he got into ballet, he didn't like [[western culture#Music|western music]] at first. He heard music at the famous [[Royal Albert Hall|Albert Hall]] in [[London]]. But he was disappointed when he heard the song. However, gradually he started to like western music. He learned Scottish, Irish and English songs from a music teacher. He liked those songs so much that when he came to the country, he translated about thirty songs into [[Bengali language|Bengali]], and maintain their original tone. Finally, he returned to written and composed Bengali songs. However, the influence of foreign music can be seen in his songs.<ref name="bdnews24"/><br />
