Kalpana Patowary - musician/singer/composer/recording artist/ record producer is the worthy torchbearer of a rich legacy of vocals, being the daughter of Assam's folk singer Bipin Chandra Nath and disciple of the legendary Ustad Gulam Mustafa Khan. She is very much influenced by Dr Bhupen Hazarika, the 'Bard of Brahmaputra', an informal chronicler and a seemingly reluctant figurehead of social unrest. Her first language is Assamese but she sings in Bhojpuri, Hindi, Bengali, English & 23 other languages with around 7000 songs to her credit. Initially trained in Assamese folk and Indian Classical music, Kalpana Patowary, a devoted vocalist, has been hailed as a prodigy in the world of Bhojpuri music. She is the darling of the North Indian belt and has carved herself a special niche in the Bhojpuri music world credited with reviving and promoting Bhojpuri music industry all over the world and bringing back traditional forms of music to the International stage. Indian folk music particularly of Northern India has been showcased and revived by her in a big way. "She gave Bhojpuri Music a new twist". Critic wrote that she changed the art of Bhojpuri vocals. Very few people know that Kalpana Patowary is as versatile that she justify or render both in raw folk forms as well as western singing. Kalpana Patowary's music genre is about primitive / acoustic folk with some trace of Indian classical music, ambient electronic and new age jazz - fusion.
