It was in fact the opportunity to see the person behind the star, up and close.Ī normal person who, like all of us, laments about the lack of time, due to a packed schedule, to do things that he would otherwise do…Ī foodie whose eyes light up at the mention of food recommendations and who can have an animated discussion on all kinds of cuisines…Ī musician who is passionate about his work and who is excited about presenting his next creation to the world…Īn artist who is seeking inspiration and finds it various things … some verse he heard while watching a play, for example. For unlike any other fan meeting celebrity, here getting an autograph and the mandatory photograph, even though they happened, weren’t really the highlight of the meeting. What do you call meeting your most favorite artist and then getting to tell him all that you have ever wanted to? Very good fortune, I guess. So I was in for a pleasant surprise when I met my most favorite singer backstage at the MTV unplugged concert in Dubai- all thanks to special friends Gopika and Dev. Unassuming, unpretentious, down- to- earth, modest- adjectives that are you are most unlikely to use to describe a celebrity, a singing star. Hear him sing an ode to the Mughal dynasty set in Raag Adana- a composition of Tanras Khan When someone passes away they take away with them all that they know, all that they have experienced, all that they have learnt… so with him that day we lost a little bit of the Patiala Gharana legacy- a bit of what his forefathers had learnt from the legendary Tanras Khan of Bahadur Shah Zafar’s court, a bit of the nuances that he picked from Ustad Umeed Ali Khan of the Gwalior Gharana-his maternal uncle and father-in- law a bit of the lightening fast tans which reminded us of the genius of his uncle Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan, and maybe scores of centuries old, original bandishes which he was a proud custodian of, and either he didn’t have the time to teach or his students didn’t have the capability to learn.īut what he left behind in the form of the music that he performed will take us more than a lifetime to relish, grasp and revere : Just over a month ago, as the world was still celebrating the start of another year, this great artist departed from it after a well lived life at 82 on the 4 th of January, 2017 There are some things that bring you joy, and some that bring you peace there are things that you seek solace in, and there are things that inspire you to go higher. Music is all of those things and for me Ustad Fateh Ali Khan’s music is that and more. Ashiq Ali Khan taught several students – names like Zahida Parveen, Farida Khanum, Mukhtar Begum.

To overcome the setback he is supposed to have developed a special style of singing the highlight of which were the immensely fast,yet precise taans. There’s a story about him being poisoned by jealous contemporaries and his losing his voice. Some of his father’s students came to his rescue and made sure he received further training. He received some music training from Ali Baksh, his Uncle and the other cofounder of the Gharana, but soon ran away from home and sought solace in opium and Sufi shrines. His illustrious father, Fateh Ali Khan, one of the co founders of the Gharana, passed away when he was still in his teens. It would be hard to find a Hindustani classical singer who performs in tailored western suits even in this day and age but that’s precisely what he did. This lesser talked about a artist of the Patiala Gharana was quite a maverick. He slowly picked up the pieces of his life by giving music lessons.īut let’s talk here of A for “Ashiq Ali Khan”

It was a struggle to establish himself again because he had left behind everything he owned. The pair were also fondly referred to as Alia-Fattu in the music circles.Īkhtar Hussain, son of Ali Baksh, was an accomplished musician who enjoyed the aptraonage of the King of Patiala but when partition happened in 1947, he chose to move to Pakistan.

The formidable duo, who trained under stalwarts of the Delhi and Gwalior Gharanas, earned the military titles of Jarnail ( General ) and Kernail ( Colonel) for their singing prowess from the Maharaja of Tonk. Ali Baksh and Fateh Ali Khan founded this school of Indian classical music in the 19 th century.
