Azam Khan holds a significant place in Bangladeshi music history. He was one of the first local musicians to introduce western instruments and infuse them with compositions based on the Bangladeshi society of his time.

Today marks the 7th Death Anniversary of the pioneer of rock music in Bangladesh, Azam Khan. The legacy that he has left behind cannot be defined by his discography of 20 plus albums, it is much more profound than that. A freedom fighter and an advocate for peace at a time of violence, Azam Khan's name was synonymous to the emerging underground rock music scene after liberation.
