[anurag]

I want to start a new thread in respect of Ustad Amanat Ali Khan who passed away two years back and whose sedate singing lured many hearts around the world. I'll post two of his popular ghazals to begin with...

Profile
Ustad Amanat Ali Khan and Ustad Fateh Ali khan are great Patiala gharana singers based in Pakistan. Before the untimely death of Amanat Ali Khan, they used to sing together. Later Ustad Fateh Ali khan took over the mantle and became one of the most important Hindustani singers living in Pakistan.

Amanat Ali Khan and Fateh Ali khan were the sons of Akhtar Husain Khan and grandsons of Ali Bux Khan, the founder of Patiala Gharana. They started giving concerts at an early age and were recognized as court musicians of the Patiala king.

After independence, the brothers decided to migrate to Pakistan. Their concerts on Radio Lahore were quite popular and they toured the whole sub continent giving concerts and became the representatives of Patiala gharana in Pakistan. After the tragic demise of the elder brother Amanat Ali Khan, Fateh Ali Khan was so shocked that he gave up singing for a few years. Later, Fateh Ali Khan took up singing again, pairing with younger brother Amjad Ali Khan and later with nephew Amjad Amanat Ali Khan. Like all other Hindustani musicians migrating to Pakistan, Amanat Ali Khan and Fateh Ali Khan have also explored light classical forms like thumri and ghazals.

Ustad Fateh Ali Khan has also tried to popularize Hindustani music in the west, extensively touring US and Europe. Recently he has been working with Norwegian government promoting Indian classical music there. He has also worked with well known Norwegian saxophonist Jan Gabarek.

They were conferred the "Pride Of Performance" medal by the government of Pakistan.

well now we know guys keh after all mp3 problem ke peehe "mamoon ji" ka hi haath tha

i guess main woh thumri dobara upload kardoonga in zip format. something that nice should stay here. what do u say?

rest of the stuff (ghazals from whispering memories) are common.

oh, i remembered, i have an album called "raag se ghazal tak" in which these brothers sing a thumri (or khyaal) in a certain raga and then sing a ghazal in the same raga. i can rip it and post it if u guys want. them being my fav, i think its fantastic.

plus i am anxiously waiting for a sftware (a free one) that can cut down the noise from my audio cassettes. i have a few very good things to contribute. (emphasis beng on the word "few")
