Music
Jalpaiguri has a rich tradition of folk music. Folk music of the Rajbanshis (Original residents of the district) is named "Bhawaiya". Melancholic tune of Bhawaiya can take away all the tireness and sorrow of the listeners. The effect of traditional Bengali song as well as Western music can be easily found here.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
