Hi. Here's a message from one of my friends, who works with UNI in Guwahati. Please send your lists to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Also please drop a copy at this forum so that we all can learn about the best songs in Assamese:

"Dear  Friends

Of course, the lists will depend on personal choices and will widely vary, but I am sure all will agree on at least a few gems. Here's my own personal choice:
 

1.        Srimoyee Asomir (Puroshottam Das)

2.       O Mor Aponar Dex (Lakshminath Bezbaruah)

3.       Biswabijoyee Najowan (Jyotiprasad)

4.       Seuji Seuji (Jyotiprasad)

5.       Pujo Aha Aai Matrir (Parvatiprasad)

6.       Sagar Sangamat (Bhupen Hazarika)

7.       Moi Eti Jajabar (   -do-)

8.       Manuhe Manuhar Baabe ( -do-)

9.       Ma Aami Xodiyale Jaame (Khagen Mahanta)

10.    Majulit Ejoni Sowaliye Dukh Paale (Zubeen Garg, being a modern heartthrob) or Sal Gori (Krishnmani Sutia, one of the biggest hits in Assam ever, which has immensely popular in Bengal, Bihar, Nepal and even Bangladesh. It is a Jhumur song)

11.     Hastir Kanya (Pratima Pandey-Bhupen Hazarika)

12.    Xurore Deulore or O Axomiya Deka Dal (Bishnu Rabha)

 

While this is my personal list, I feel there could be inclusion of a few songs from other languages from Assam (most notably Bodo or Karbi).
