Singapore authorities have initiated an investigation into the tragic death of Assam’s musical icon Zubeen Garg, who passed away in Singapore earlier this week.
Born Zubeen Borthakur on November 18, 1972, in Tura, Meghalaya, Zubeen Garg went on to become one of the most influential voices of Assam and the Northeast. A singer–songwriter, composer, actor, and philanthropist, he left behind a legacy that transcended borders and languages.
Zubeen Garg and Lou Majaw were conferred Honorary D.Litt. degrees for their outstanding contribution in the field of art and culture, outreach activities, peace, harmony, and development of society.
