Kalpana Patowary is synonymous with folk music in India. Her mellifluous renditions have rightly earned her the credit for placing the folk music of Bhojpur and Assam on the country’s cultural radar. Kalpana has worked assiduously to promote folk music through her efforts both in rural and urban settings. Through her powerful performance, Kalpana manages to transport her audience into the realms of musical fantasia. Her work helps the younger generation understand, appreciate and respect our rich traditions of folk music. Her mellifluous and varied repertoire includes the myriad forms of folk music-such as Purvi, Bihu,Brajavali, Deori Bishu,Kajri, Holi, Chhath, Sohar, Vivah-geet, Birha, Nirugun and Goalporia.

She is the first woman to record Chhaprahiya Purvi with her commendable high pitch vocal. No woman ever dared recording this folk style as it demands high octave range. Until then, Purvi was a male preserve. Today many girls follow.
