Guwahati: Music legend Bhupen Hazarika’s son, Tej, on Thursday announced the formation of a new body in memory of his father with an aim to spread his works across the globe.
“Our main objective is to internationalise Bhupen Hazarika. His works have great relevance even on Thursday. We will translate and spread his creations,” Tej said. The newly formed ‘Dr Bhupen Hazarika Foundation’ has 21 members from different walks of life that includes some siblings and relatives of the music maestro.
Trying to distance itself from another trust, led by the singer’s longtime associate Kalpana Lazmi, Tej said, “Ours is a transparent organisation. It is not a business shell. All the wealth created by the foundation will go to promote the work of my father.” (PTI)
