बिहार की दत्तक बेटी कल्पना का अनूठा प्रस्तुति.

बिहार की समृद्ध संस्कृति ने देश और दुनिया को हमेशा आकर्षित किया है। यहां की अनूठी संस्कृति ने उपेंद्र महारथी जैसे महान शिल्पकार और चित्रकार को इतना प्रभावित किया कि वे आजीवन बिहार के ही बनकर रह गये। वर्तमान में बिहार को सौभग्य से एक बेटी मिली है, जिसने उसके गर्भ से भले ही जन्म नहीं लिया, लेकिन आज वह बिहार के सौभाग्यशाली मस्तक पर बिंदिया की तरह चमक रही है। बिहार की इस दत्तक बेटी का नाम है कल्पना पटवारी।read more on http://www.apnabihar.org/apni.htm

The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur
वही कल्पना, जिसने कभी “गवनवा ले ल राजा जी” और “एगो चुम्मा ले ल राजा जी” जैसे  गीत गाकर लोकप्रियता के सारे रिकार्ड तोड़े थे। बाद में कल्पना ने भोजपुरी संगीत संसार को अपनी सुमधुर आवाज से सजाया संवारा। आज भोजपुरी संगीत की चर्चा होती है तो कल्पना का नाम किसी अतिथि के रुप में नहीं, बल्कि बिहार की बेटी के रुप में ही होती है। वैसे कल्पना मूल रुप से आसाम की रहने वाली हैं। पिछले एक दशक से इन्होंने दिल को छूने वाली आवाज और भोजपुरी के प्रति समर्पण के बूते नया कीर्तिमान स्थापित किया है।

आज के राक और तथाकथित सोलो म्यूजिक के दौर में भी कल्पना ने शतायु बिहार को अपनी ओर से एक साहसी तोहफ़ा दिया है। साहसी इस मायने में कि कल्पना ने भिखारी ठाकुर की परंपरा को अपनी आवाज के सहारे पुनर्जीवित करने का प्रयास किया है। अपने नवीनतम एलबम “द लीगेशी आफ़ भिखारी ठाकुर” के जरिये कल्पना ने भिखारी ठाकुर के उन गीतों को अपनी आवाज से सजीव बनाया है, जो उनके जीवनकाल में तो सजीव थे, लेकिन बाद में काल के गाल में समा गये थे।

अपना बिहार के साथ बातचीत में कल्पना बताती हैं कि एलबम के निर्माण से पहले उन्होंने भिखारी साहित्य का गहनपूर्वक अध्ययन किया। अध्ययन के दौरान इन्होंने पाया कि भिखारी ठाकुर ने आज के वर्तमान की सच्चाई को अतीत में ही अपनी नाटकों में वर्णित किया था। हालांकि कल्पना की कल्पना भी ब्राह्मणवाद के पाखंड के मायाजाल में सीमित रह जाती है और वह भिखारी ठाकुर के द्वारा बतायी गयी सामाजिक सच्चाई को भी उसी चश्मे से देखती हैं। इसका प्रभाव गीतों के चयन और प्रस्तुतियों में सुनाई पड़ता है। एलबम की कीमत 195 रुपए है और इस दृष्टिकोण से यह महंगा अवश्य है, लेकिन भिखारी ठाकुर को समर्पित गीतों को कल्पना की आवाज के लिहाज से इसे महंगा नहीं कहा जाना चाहिए।

बहरहाल, सौ साल पूरा होने पर बिहार की दत्तक बेटी कल्पना ने बिहारवासियों को अनमोल तोहफ़ा दिया है। सारंगी के प्रयोग ने प्रस्तुति को और अनूठा बना दिया है। सबसे अधिक कल्पना की चंचल और शोख आवाज ने भिखारी ठाकुर के गीतों को 21वीं सदी में सजीव बनाने में सफ़ल हुई हैं। इसके लिये ये बधाई की पात्र हैं। अपना बिहार भी इनके इस संगीतमय प्रयास को सलाम करता है।

              Virgin Records / EMI Music releases their first Bhojpuri album The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur by Assamese singer & Bhojpuri icon Kalpana Patowary recently.

The album is conceived and inspired by the life and works of one of the most popular and prolific poets of Bhojpuri literature.

              Kalpana brings the original vibrancy and richness of the Bhikari Thakur folk forms to the World wide so that people from the world over can experience the originality and richness of Bhojpuri music. The songs give listeners space and time of that era. Bhikari Thakur songs treat life with an experienced simplicity. Kalpana believes…this is an Endeavour with a cause. “In an era of pop and rock, we are losing the basic foundation of our culture i.e.  Folk”…clarifies Kalpana who conceptualized this idea.

               Says T. Suresh, general manager, Virgin Records / EMI Music group, EMI is happy with their entry into Bhojpuri music with songs of Shakespeare of Bhojpuri literature - Bhikhari Thakur. This album is a perfect combination of the singer Kalpana, and the lyrics of the poet himself. Both the singer & music are by Kalpana Patowary.

              This album features 9 songs. It will be available across all mobile and other digital platforms and all leading Malls, Planet M’s etc.

Kalpana Patowary’s fizzy deal - Most expensive Bhojpuri Audio CD with maximum MRP of Rs 195/= launching from Virgin Records/EMI Music.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That seems to be Kalpana’s recent mantra. The Assamese singer and Bhojpuri icon has just signed on a whopping deal for her latest music project - “The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur” with a London based music label – Virgin Records/EMI Music. She’s on the road to leaving her mark on the Bhojpuri music industry. EMI Music will unveil the most expensive Bhojpuri Audio CD disc in Mumbai priced at 195/- MRP. Says Kalpana, there is no recorded songs on Bhikhari Thakur till date and “The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur” will be the first rare one of its kind. The album has earned the unique distinction of being the only Bhojpuri Audio project with maximum MRP launched from EMI Music.

The disc, entitled “The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur” features nine songs by recording artist - the Bhojpuri Queen – Kalpana Patowary. A tribute to The Shakespeare of Bhojpuri Literature – The Legacy of Bhikhari Thakur is already bringing her applause in India and distant land countries like Africa, Russia ,China, the U K and the U S A .

As Kalpana adds, I could have released this project from any other music company who has proved themselves in the Bhojpuri market and doing good business but I did not want to tag this project at Rs 35/ to Rs 45/=  like any other Bhojpuri albums. I know, commercially Rs 195/= for a Bhojpuri CD would be risky. But here my intention is to take Bhojpuri music to a different class, different zone from where it now exists. I want the CD’s be available in all leading Malls, Planet M’s etc.

Bhojpuri music is always looked down upon in the mainstream industry. It is time that people & media believe in our work and let good music come out. Someone has to bear. I took the responsibility producing the album rather than complain.

Says Kalpana, I had been to Deva Sharif, Bara Banki U.P to pray for this exclusive project. In a press conference in Bara Banki, I had made a statement that Bhojpuri music has given me a lot and expressed my desire to the media to see Bhojpuri music in International markets. Many so called critics and some of my contemporary singer friends commented sarcastically and tried to prove my statement wrong. (by which songs I’ll take Bhojpuri music to that level….usually Bhojpuri songs has double meaning songs). I kept mum as I believe it’s was better.

But with this release, she proved herself once again, her devotion to Bhojpuri music. She has kept her word to take Bhojpuri music to International platform.

Bhojpuri listeners just want to hear good music.  I had released some classy Bhojpuri music classics like Kajree, Nirgun, Tajmahal ( Romantic songs) but due to low price tag and bad packaging it could not appeal in the market.

As Bhojpuri music are looked down upon, I want people to know about how the legend has shaped the future of Bhojpuri music whose songs are rich in imagery and heavy in Bhojpuri dialect.

This new album on Bhikhari Thakur will be a true benchmark in the annals of Bhojpuri Music Industry and will set new standards for the music industry. This album will give a chance to uncover the unique flavor of Bhikhari Thakur and listen to the unadulterated voice of Kalpana piercing right through to your soul

Virgin Records / EMI believed in my intentions and I thank them personally for acknowledging my passion for Bhojpuri music from the core of my heart.
