Music beyond borders: Legacy of Bhupen Da
From Assam emerged a voice that flowed like a timeless river, crossing borders and cultures, carrying with it the spirit of humanity.
TODAY, September 8, is a very special day for all those passionate about Indian culture and music. It is particularly special for my sisters and brothers of Assam. After all, it is the birth anniversary of Dr Bhupen Hazarika, one of the most extraordinary voices of India. As you are all aware, this year marks the beginning of his birth centenary celebrations. It is an occasion to revisit his monumental contributions to Indian artistic expression and public consciousness.
