Zubeen Garg, one of India’s most versatile and celebrated musicians, was an icon of Assam and the greater Northeast. Born in 1972, he built an extraordinary career spanning over three decades, with more than 38,000 songs recorded across 40 languages. He gained national recognition through the Bollywood hit “Ya Ali” from Gangster (2006), but his contribution to Assamese music and culture was unparalleled. Beyond singing, he was also a composer, actor, filmmaker, and philanthropist. His sudden passing in Singapore at age 52 left a deep void in Indian music. Leaders and fans across the country paid heartfelt tributes, acknowledging his role in carrying Assam’s cultural legacy to the national and global stage.
