Indian Arrival Day 2014 *An Observation by Kalpana Patowary

Some thousand miles from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Bhojpuri artistic musical tradition is raw and in its pure form here in the Carribean Islands. The Mighty Ganga can be separately identified even after its blende with the Atlantic Ocean. Sohar, Baithak Gana, Bhajan -- Kirtan, Vivaah Geet all took me to a time different zone, says the Bhojpuri singer Kalpana. Near about 150 years ago all these people from India -- U.P -- Bihar migrated as laborers leaving behind their kith and kin. They were all poor people who took their cultural and spiritual belief with them as their valuables. Lots of mental turmoil they faced and many survived to death. Today they stand high in these lands. Again its unity in diversion as they mixed and exchanged their cultural beliefs with different races dominant there.  It's interesting for me as after all these years as a Bhojpuria musical Ambassador from India. I get to witness, to live their moments of my life.

First, one part of Bhojpuri music is still safe and pure in its raw form of what it was 170 years before. I felt some connection with "The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur"......The dholak theka and rhythm style is much the same. And secondly, a part known as Chutney -- Soca songs, which back in India I got the opportunity to sing in thousands of song. All the raunchy numbers blended with calypso and Caribbean beats with Bhojpuria dholak.It sounded more peppy and groovy to me.
