Purabiyaan Taan - An evening of Bhojpuri Songs and Poems

A genre of music that has escaped with the traveller, crossed enormous distances: from Bihar to Mauritius to Latin America. Often hailed as the Bhojpuri queen, Kalpana Patowary’s body of work is vast, exploring the intersections between Bhojpuri music and other folk traditions, including blues and jazz. Kalpana’s music speaks to the separation, longing and anticipation that marks any experience of migration. Through her performance, we hope to create a free space for interaction, for and with the workers that will come to life, through Bhojpuri songs.
