Poetry and Songs most often would begin Human Life as inseparable twins.
The singer is very much an important link.
Zubeen Garg's professional career in music began in 1992 with the release of his debut Assamese album, 'Anamika'.
This later for the modern Assamese music - became a milestone. He was born on Nov 18, 1972 in Tura (Meghalaya) and hence he was only 20 when he had made up his mind where his heart was. Zubeen was two years younger than me.
Hence one can relate it well because the 1990s in north east of India and especially Assam was a different world.
Of course all death is a tragic end and for him that end came pretty fast. Assam and the rest of north east India are mourning since Sept 19th when he breathed last in Singapore. For lakhs of his admirers -especially the youths and the people of middle age in north east -- Zubeen's voice gave a sense of calm.
One of his Hindi numbers -- 'Jaaney kya chahe mann banwara ... from the film zzz -- was big hit.
The starting words would mean -- I really don't know .... what my crazy heart desires.
This line itself reflected the trauma, agony and aspiration of the younger generation. And Zubeen's rendering of voice made it uniquely closer to the hearts of millions of young girls and boys.
It could be easily said that Zubeen had that instinct and element in him by which a song could be elevated beyond the confines of music and lyrics !
The numbers came from deep inside.
Youngsters across the globe seem to believe in the spirit of a statement --- well, while they have the ships; we have the waves. Zubeen's songs made that kind of appeal.
He was a Musical torchbearer and had a gifted ability to impart the right amount of emotion in a number.
"Mayabini" --- in Bengali sung by Zubeen Garg and Kalpana is from the album/movie Tumi (2007).
The song is written by Sumit Acharya, and the music is composed by Zubeen himself.
This song was first written by Zubeen Garg in 2001 under the Assamese title “Māyābinī Rātir Bukut” and was featured in film 'Dag'.
There's a very touchy para -
স্মৃতিগুলি কখনো…..
যদি মনে পড়ে যায়…..
পারবে কি ভুলতে……
তুমি কখনো আমায়……?
This breezy number will remain fresh for a very long time.
Zubeen's music actually brought people together... the melodies would lift people's spirits and also gave voice to shared identity.
Finally at an emotional moment, one must say the love of Zubeen's voice and songs should be one of the things that will unite the north east of India and also the rest of the country.
