Chattogram to pay tribute to Ayub Bachchu
Chattogram City Corporation is going to pay tribute to late rock legend Ayub Bachchu by decorating the busy Prabartak square and naming it after the legend.
After Ayub Bachch's death on October 18, Ctg mayor AJM Nasir Uddin made the promise of dedicating a square to Ayub Bachchu and erecting a statue of a guitar paying tribute to the guitar master AB.
'The project is under way now. We are going to build a big and eye-catching guitar statue at the square to be named after Ayub Bachchu, a pride of Chattogram,' said M Giasuddin, councilor of the area.
Rock legend Ayub Bachchu, who dominated the rock scene in the country for over 30 years, was born in Chattogram in 1962. Bachchu recorded 28 albums, including 16 solo albums during more than four decades of his career as a musician.
A pioneering rocker, Bachchu composed 500 songs including famous numbers like 'Chalo Bodle Jai', 'Rupali Guitar', 'Hanste Dekho, Gaite Dekho', 'Ghum Bhanga Shahore', 'Darojar O Pashe', 'Madhabi', 'Hawker', 'Meye', 'Tara Bhara Rate' and 'Sare Tin Hat Mati'.
