Bhupen Hazarika (1926-2011) was a legendary Indian musician, renowned for his ability to turn the echoes of gunshots into resonant folk songs that resonated throughout the Northeast region. Originating from Assam, his music transcended geographical boundaries, symbolizing peace and harmony. Hazarika's songs not only entertained but also served as a powerful platform for social commentary and activism, addressing regional issues. His timeless melodies continue to echo the hopes and struggles of the people, cementing his status as an iconic figure in Indian music and a symbol of peace in the Northeast.
The song "Buku Buku Hum Hum Kore" is a testament to Hazarika's musical legacy, composed and written by him. Through this song, Shamima Akhtar, a Kashmiri girl associated with Sarhad Pune, an NGO based in Pune, pays tribute to Hazarika's memory and contributions. With a profound connection to Hazarika, who had ties to Pune's Sarhad NGO, Akhtar's tribute highlights the enduring impact of Hazarika's music across diverse communities. Additionally, Sarhad Pune annually presents the prestigious "Bhupen Hazarika National Award," further solidifying Hazarika's lasting influence and legacy in music and social activism.
