Let's journey back in time to Darbar Festival 2023 when we were graced by the exceptional talent of Sarwar Hussain Khan.
Khan was born into an illustrious sarangi family. The son of Ustad Anwar Hussain and grandson of stalwart, Ustad Abdul Latif Khan Sahab, Khan has developed a style which gives the audience deeply stirring and richly coloured sounds. This is his UK debut performance where he will present his unique style of playing tappa, one of the most difficult forms of singing that is reproduced by his sarangi. Tappa was developed by Rajasthani folk musicians, who while riding on camels created an undulating sound as their bodies moved up and down, thereby creating this unique style. Khan is accompanied by the vibrant young tabla player, Patitundi, student of the late Pandit Subhankar Banerjee.
Sarwar Hussain Khan is a superb sarangi player employed by the Sangeet Research Acadamy in Kolkata since 2010. He is the grandson of the illustrious sarangi player Ustad Abdul Latif Khan of Bhopal.
Musicians:
- Sarwar Hussain Khan (sarangi)
- Debjit Patitundi (tabla)
