Bhupen Hazarika the very name that resonates like the eternal rhythm of the Brahmaputra, synonymous with the heartbeat of Assam and the very soul of her people. He is not just an artist but a phenomenon a cultural colossus whose voice, drenched in empathy and humanity, continues to echo across generations. Fondly hailed as the ‘Bard of the Brahmaputra’ and reverentially remembered as ‘Sudhakantha’ (the nectar throated), his genius as a singer, lyricist, composer, filmmaker and poet transcended boundaries, making him not only the pride of Assam but of the entire North East, of India, and indeed, of the world.
Born on 8th September 1926, in the mist kissed town of Sadiya in present day Tinsukia district, Hazarika’s journey was destined to be timeless. Today, 8th September 2025, as the land of the Red River and Blue Hills rises in celebration, the world bows to mark the centenary of this immortal legend.
