On October 15 1977,
29 years ago Jayanta Hazarika suddenly left us in tears. Devastated as we were then we remember his scintillating personality with great fondness and a sense of loss.
This year Jayanta Hazarika memorial concert will be held at the Nehru Centre (Cultural Wing of High Commission of India) on 18 October, 2006. The invited artists are: Manisha Hazarika, Mayukh Hazarika & Laili Dutta Hazarika.
Manisha Haharika
wife of late Jayanta Hazarika who could be pronounced as a woman of substance.
Born and raised in a respectable Bengali family, in a composite musical background in Kolkata. Manisha lost her husband at a very young age. No way she wanted to be a pitiable woman, neither did she wanted to go back to her birth place in to the comfortable and privileged surroundings of her parents abode. Instead this courageous woman started to begin from scratch striving to survive and made every effort to give the best of the couples only child, Mayukh. She has promised herself to keep those memorable songs of her husband alive and make him feel comfortable where ever he is. She is an inspiration and a role model for every women.
Mayukh Hazarika
He can be easily mistaken for A.R. Rahman by his disarming smile and charming manner. Born and raised into Hazarika gharana an illustrious family of several gifted artists and doyens of Asom musical world. Having seen and heard his family of musicians most notably his father and uncle: Dr. Bhupen Hazarika sing and interact as he grew up. He lost his father when he was only seven year old. His mother taught him to sing those immortal songs with the same depth of feelings and sincerity that his father once sang and became famous with. Mayukh relive the voice of Jayanta Hazarika once again.
Laili Dutta Hazarika
She would always wake up to the sound of the Swaras. Having herself learned from the legendary Padmabhusan: Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, her mother Shikha Dutta took it upon herself to pass on the nuances of the Rampur Sahaswan Gharana to Laili at a very young age. Since then music has been one of the most significant and a religious aspects of Lailis life. This tradition found further _expression_ when she married Mayukh Hazarika. She is qualified from Bhatkhande Music University, Lucknow as a Bachelor of Music.
