Goodbye, Sangeet Guru!

We are shocked at the death of popular Nazrul Sangeet artiste Sohrab Hossain. The sangeet guru died on December 27, 2012 at the age of 91. It is widely recognised that he maintained the correct notations of Nazrul's songs after they went through major distortion during the 1940s and 50s. Nazrul researcher Professor Rafiqul Islam called Sohrab Hossain's voice “a gift from God.†We hope, like Khilkhil Kazi, that Nazrul Sangeet artistes of today and tomorrow will follow Sohrab Hossain's path and keep Nazrul's music in their hearts. We pray for the eternal peace of his departed soul.
