About Arko
Arko’s official name is Arka Mukherjee.
However as an artist he chooses to use the name Arko Mukhaerjee.
Arko Mukhaerjee, a trained North Indian classical singer and an urban folk artist from Calcutta, India, has been researching on the roots of Indian and Bengali folk and contemporary music.
One of the most unique vocalists from the independent folk music scene in India, Arko’s high tenor and natural husk, is unique to the sub –continental world music scene. Formally trained in Indian classical music from his parents, Arko is equally versatile with European, African, Middle – eastern, American and Indian folk songs along with blues, soul and several tribal music forms from India and Bengal in particular, which is what gives all his collaborations and projects, a unique blend of the tradition and the modern. He sings in more than 15 different languages and has been travelling all over Europe, collaborating with several other musicians in France, England and Germany and West Africa and has played in eminent music festivals in Europe, America, Bangladesh and Nepal. During his travelling time in Europe for the past 9 years, Arko has been playing with French folk and gypsy jazz musicians and African traditional artists. As a result of his love and passion for the blues, he is one of the very few Indian artists to have been programmed for blues festivals in France. He has also been extensively touring in England and East Europe with his ethno electronic musical collaboration called Ashram as a featured guest artist.
Arko has incorporated the bluegrass soundscape into his Indo – Irish musical duo called Crossover with Anna Tanvir, an Irish Harp player, by collaborating with Ben Krakauer, a banjo and fiddle player from the United States, Casey Driessen, a grammy nominee and a renowned American Fiddle player and Diptanshu Roy, the only traditional bluegrass artist from India. Arko was the front man and founder member of a very popular independent folk outfit from Calcutta called Fiddler’s Green, a Bengali folk band with the elements of bluegrass and Appalachian music along with Celtic, Afro Cuban, Middle Eastern, Jewish and gypsy folk soundscape. He has collaborated with renowned Gypsy Jazz guitar Maestro Daniel Givone and virtuoso Nepali jazz guitarist Hari Maharjan at the Nepal Gypsy Jazz festival consecutively in 2018 and 2019.
