Music and Concerts in Kolkata, West Bengal

Kolkata has one of the densest populations one will ever see in a metropolitan city, even by Indian standards. The older parts of the city still show many traces of Bengal’s colonial past. This colonial history has influenced much of the city’s vibrant culture and diverse cuisine. Some visitors might be shocked at the visible poverty, but no one can help noticing the wonderful crafts, textiles, music and the people’s sheer zest for living despite daily vicissitudes. This aspect of the city becomes most evident during the massive annual Durga Puja – originally a religious festival which has come to transcend transcend barriers of caste, creed and race and evolved into a model of community spirit and human harmony.

Apart from the basics about housing and food, they need to be tolerant about the laid back attitude of the people here. Be interested in having long conversations on any topics and sound knowledgeable too! If they are a foodie then all the more better because Bengalis love to eat and talk about it! andyo need to know about Rabindranath Tagore and his music too!

Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta) is a city of commerce, transport, and manufacture, It is the dominant urban centre of eastern India. This large and vibrant Indian city thrives amid seemingly insurmountable economic, social, and political problems. Crowds horde to Kolkata’s book fairs, art exhibitions, and concerts, and there is a lively trading of polemics on walls, which has led to Kolkata being dubbed the “city of posters.” Kolkata remains a quandary to many Indians and to foreigners. It continues to puzzle newcomers and to arouse an abiding nostalgia in the minds of those who have lived there.
