Moksed Ali Sai, one of the dedicated deputies of Lalon, the king of Baul songs, devoted his life in spiritual activities after Lalon.
Moksed played a key role in popularizing Lalon song through instruments both home and abroad after the independence of Bangladesh.
Born in 1933 at Harisankarpur area in the town, Moksed grew up among the bauls who thronged Lalon's shrine. His father's name is Abdur Rashid Khan and mother's name is Nigar Nesa. His family title was Khan' but later he cut 'Khan and renamed himself 'Shah' for his deep devotion for Lalon's philosophy.
From his early age he fell in deep love with the divine and spiritual tunes of Lalon. He practised classical Nazrul songs in his early stage of artist faith. He also worked as a jatra artist for a period.
