ABOUT
Arupjyoti Baruah, along with his folk-rock band ‘The Cultivators’, has explored across languages (Assamese, Bangla, Hindi), dialectical variations of Assamese and folk music of different ethnic communities (Rabha, Mishing, Bodo, Tiwa, etc). His genre expands to Ojapali, Borgeet, Goalpariya Lokogeet, Kamrupiya Lokogeet, Holigeet, Baul, Bihu, Bir naam, and contemporary songs. His music is highly inspired by the literature of Srimanta Shankardev, Jyoti Prasad Agarwala, Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha, and Dr. Bhupen Hazarika. This ethnomusicological approach blends traditional folk elements and upholds the voice of the ‘marginal’ and contemporary influences.
