Zubeen
Garg
HIS LEGACY
From "Ya Ali" to Bihu classics, sang in over 38,000 songs across Assamese, Bengali, Hindi and Sanskrit. Google honoured him as "The Humming King of the World."
HIS SOUL
Left Bollywood to serve Assam. Helped flood victims. Gave away everything. "I have no religion, no caste. I am free. I simply love everyone."
HIS FAREWELL
When he passed on September 19, 2025, over one million people walked with him — the largest funeral procession in Asia for a musician. Assam gave him a 21-gun salute.
“Assam has lost not just a voice, but a heartbeat. Zubeen Da was more than a singer — he was the pride of Assam and the nation, whose songs carried our culture, our emotions, and our spirit to every corner of the world.”
— ASHOK SINGHAL, ASSAM CABINET MINISTERZUBEEN TRIBUTE CONCERT
