Amjad Ali Khan - Legendary Artist – Grammy
Award Nominee
He was only 6 years old, when Amjad Ali Khan gave his first recital of Sarod.
It was the beginning of yet another glorious chapter in the history of Indian
classical music. Taught by his father and guru, the great Haafiz Ali Khan of
Gwalior, Amjad Ali Khan was born to the illustrious Bangash lineage rooted in
the Senia Bangash School of music. Today he shoulders the sixth generation
inheritance of this legendary lineage.
After his debut, the career graph of this musical legend took the speed of
light, and on its way the Indian classical music scene was witness to regular
and scintillating bursts of Raga supernovas. And thus, the
Coming Masters’ as the New York Times calls them, his two sons, Amaan Ali Khan
and Ayaan Ali Khan are well known names in the music scene and are the seventh
generation of musicians in the family. Amjad Ali Khan's wife Subhalakshmi Khan
has been a great exponent of the Indian classical dance, Bharatnatyam, which,
she sacrificed for her family. As a soul, so in his heart, he is a man who has
proven his indomitable belief in the integration of two of life's greatest
forces, love and music. He is a living example of a man who practices that
integration each day of his life, both on stage and off stage.
