Soul o Solo at Kawtha Koi
Where Every Voice Sang Its Own Song
Soul o Solo was an evening like no other at Kawtha Koi — a celebration of individual expression, heartfelt connections, and soulful music. The stage came alive with a vibrant mix of performances: from the earthy rhythms of Baul singers to intimate solo acts that bared emotion in every note.
One of the highlights was a moving duet by a grandmother and granddaughter, bridging generations through shared melody. A mother-son performance brought warmth and nostalgia, while a harmonica player filled the air with lilting tunes. The strumming of the guitar added yet another layer to the rich tapestry of the evening.
Each act, whether seasoned or spontaneous, reminded us that everyone has a story — and sometimes, all it takes is a mic, a moment, and a little courage to share it.
Bursting with energy and inspiration, Kawtha Koi recently hosted IMPAKKT, a vibrant exhibition that celebrated creativity, entrepreneurship, and social impact.

Renowned former footballer Mr. Shyam Thapa inaugurated the exhibition, lending prestige to the two-day affair. Esteemed NGOs such as Alok Foundation, Development Action Society, Iswar Sankalpa and Asha Niketan showcased their work, highlighting social causes through engaging displays.

Local entrepreneur Madhumita Aunty won hearts with handcrafted goods and homemade cutlets.
IMPAKKT proved to be more than an exhibition—it was a celebration of community, purpose, and creative enterprise.
Kolkata has some of the finest British mansions and monuments in the world. In fact, people believe that the number is more than in Great Britain – The Dead Letter Office, The Currency Building, Replica of the Kedleston Palace & Stadt Haus, The Black Hole Tragedy Monument, The Grave of Charnock and many more. No doubt it was considered as the second most important city of the British Empire.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, Kawtha Koi hosted “The Silent Sankalpa” at Iswar Sankalpa, where members of the Kawtha Koi family came together with the residents of Sarbari for a heartwarming evening.

It was a beautiful way to honour the women of Sarbari, and all who attended were deeply touched by the effort, spirit and talent shown by the residents. The evening was filled with connection, celebration and mutual respect, leaving lasting memories for everyone involved.

The Black Town Walk – The Babus of Calcutta
What is roak er adda? What is Babu culture? Where did that originate from? What kind of food is the favourite for the locals? What does Para mean to the locals and to the locals settled far and away? This Walk organized by Kawtha Koi told us about Calcutta’s history, heritage, cuisine. Something which makes it different from any other city of India. The Grand Houses, Thakur Dalans, The Markets and the Culinary Delights make Calcutta a fusion of Heritage Modernisation. The lanes and alleys of the Black Town surely fascinated all.
