Remembering the golden voice of Bhupen Hazarika……

Bhupen Hazarika, known for his haunting, resounding melodies like "Dil hoom hoom kare" and "Ganga behti ho kyon" is no more but his songs will always be with music lovers.

Ganga……
A Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner, Hazarika's lyrics and voice lent a special flavour to several Bollywood songs and put the spotlight on music from Assam.Noted for his clear diction and voice, he sang his first song "Biswa nijoy nojowan" for Assamese film "Indramalati" when he was just 12.Later on, he sang soulful songs in Assamese, Bengali and Hindi.
Dole He Dola is Bhupen Hazarika’s most famous and popular song…..
