Trisha

Zubeen Garg was one of India's greatest musicians, undoubtedly. There were a lot tragedies in his personal life but he channelled all of that into his music. -Zubeen's younger sister Jongki Borthakur passed away in a tragic car accident in 2002. She and Zubeen were traveling were on their way to perform on stage when the car met with an accident. He was initially in the same car but got into a different car only minutes before the accident. He never recovered from that psychologically. -The passing away of his sister affected Zubeen throughout his life. As late as 2023, Zubeen broke down into tears while performing one of his late sister's song on stage. He turned an alcoholic after his sister's death in 2002. He was always hurting inside after that tragic accident. -Zubeen was primarily known for his Assamese, Bengali and Hindi songs but he sang in over 40 languages and dialects, including but not limited to Bishnupriya Manipuri, Adi, Boro, English, Goalpariya, Kannada, Karbi, Khasi, Malayalam, Marathi, Mising, Nepali, Odia, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Tiwa. -Zubeen was a multi-instrumentalist. He could play as many as 12 instruments, including anandalahari, dhol, dotara, drums, guitar, harmonica, harmonium, mandolin, keyboard and tabla. The Streets Will Never Forget Him 🙏🙏
