When the world is rocking with all that comes from the West, what people are quite conveniently forgetting is what comes from their own land. While westernization is spreading in every aspect of human life in the east, or for that matter anywhere, be it clothing, cosmetics or even perspective to everyday living, what has spread most is perhaps, music. There is nothing wrong at all with people embracing everything western, but there are also many good reasons why people should give their culture a shot. It should not happen, as it is happening now in many cases that the people of the west end up learning more about us and the richness of our culture while we blindly follow what we think is ‘in trend’.

Take for instance more and more upcoming singers in Kolkata, are inclined to learning western music and taking it up as their career option while there is hardly anyone to take up and continue what is traditional. The common belief is that, the young and upcoming generation is not inclined into listening to the traditional and regional songs as they are into the mad race of western music and dance. They believe ...
... that investing time in learning regional songs or, focusing on traditional Bengali songs would limit their scope into the borders of West Bengal only. Losing audience, limiting career enhancement and following the ‘trend’ are some of the reasons why Bengali singers in Kolkata are diverging their interests to other aspects of music than what is their own.

Considering the pace at which we are losing touch with what is our own, it is time that we bust some myths about furthering interest regional and classical music. To begin with, if young and upcoming Singers In Kolkata are into believing that there is no scope to Bengali music, there could be nothing that is more wrong. Bengali music is not only popular all over West Bengal, it is also played and enjoyed by people all over the world. There are hundreds of Bengali concerts and programs organized in different parts of the world, which calls in a crowd of not only the non resident Bengalis but also a number of locals there as well. Soothing and catchy music is all it takes to work with the audience, and as time can tell, a good number of Bengali songs and music have already made their way into the chartbusters of Bombay movie industry already.

Most Bengali Modern Song Singer in Kolkata are trained by well known experts from well known institutes which is one reason why their base becomes very strong. Not only does this allow flexibility in learning other forms of music but also allows the ability to fuse the traditional with the western in most appreciable ways. Fusion music is breath taking and can only be done when you know your own traditional music well. Scope of something is as much as you make of it, and when Bengali music and songs are in question, the scope just seems to get better every passing day.
