Preserving the Guru-Shishya Parampara
The sacred tradition of Guru-Shishya Parampara
Ustad Ahmed Hussain Khan — Sitar
Sitar Nawaz Ustad Ahmed Hussain Khan hails from the ancient and famous Mian Achpal and Senia Gharana, which has made great contributions to the preservation, promotion, and development of the high traditions of Hindustani Classical Music.
He achieved such high perfection and unsurpassed mastery on the Sitar that he could make it sing, cry, wail, and even talk — "The blood of music in his veins."
Ustad ji had his initial training from his father Ustad Bundu Khan Saheb and later studied under Ustad Rahimat Khan Saheb and Ustad Habib Khan Sahib. He became an exponent of the special techniques of Raza Khani, Maseet Khani, and Seni Bhaj. Originally from Pune, he moved to Madras and served as a teaching faculty at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Madras, training many aspirants.
