Kolkata, India, October 6, 2025: Bengal is fortunate to be a land of learned minds, passionate creators, and tradition-keepers. From poets and philosophers to singers and mentors, each generation has upheld high standards and preserved the flame of creativity. This rich inheritance is more than art: it is a generational wealth, a living legacy entrusted to us, feels renowned musician Joi Barua.
“The nature of music is to evoke emotion, to evoke a thought, to let you escape into a different world. That’s the nature of art. That’s the nature of music. Bengali music with its rich legacy, writing, craft, thought, takes me to a lot of places. Bengal is a very lucky state. It had that kind of learning. It had that kind of people. The people who wrote, the people who passed it down. They kept the standards very high. It is also incumbent on the next generation to understand their generational wealth that has been passed down,” said Joi Barua on TuriyaTalks.
The interaction opened with a celebration of art, culture, and creative spirit. The episode offers audiences a glimpse into a conversation that promises to be both inspiring and soulful.
