Vishal Dadlani’s Heartfelt Tribute to Zubeen Garg at Itanagar: A Moment That Moved the Hills

It was a night of music, memories, and emotion in Itanagar as singer-composer Vishal Dadlani took a heartfelt pause during his performance to pay tribute to the late Zubeen Garg — the voice that defined generations across Assam and the Northeast.

Midway through his set, Dadlani stopped to address the crowd, his voice soft but sure: “There will never be anyone like Zubeen.” What followed was a soul-stirring rendition of “Jaane Kya Chahe Mann,” dedicated to the beloved icon whose sudden passing left a void in India’s music scene.

The audience, packed with fans who grew up on Zubeen’s songs, fell silent before breaking into thunderous applause. The emotion in the air was unmistakable — part grief, part gratitude.

Dadlani’s tribute wasn’t just to a fellow musician but to a cultural phenomenon who carried the sound of Assam to every corner of the country. In his words and music, the moment became a bridge between memory and legacy — a reminder that Zubeen’s melodies still echo in every heart that ever sang along.

As the lights dimmed and the music swelled, Itanagar witnessed something rare: one artist saluting another, with the hills themselves seeming to hum along.
