Guwahati: In an emotional gathering that echoed with prayers and memories, over a hundred women from the Meira Paibi Association of Manipuri Basti, Guwahati, paid their heartfelt tribute to the late musical maestro Zubeen Garg at his Kahilipara residence.

Carrying candles, flowers, and songs from his timeless repertoire, the women assembled to honour the man who not only shaped Assam’s music but also stood as a symbol of cultural unity and social voice. Many shed tears as they recalled Zubeen’s unwavering support for marginalized communities, including the Manipuri diaspora in Assam.

“Zubeen da was more than a singer, he was our voice, our pride,” said one of the association leaders, her voice breaking with emotion.

The poignant event served as both a remembrance and a reminder of the unifying power of music. Even in death, Zubeen Garg continues to inspire generations across communities and cultures.

His melodies live on in hearts, in voices, and in every tear shed in gratitude.
