THE LEGACY

2022-09-11
The beauty of eastern music based on classical traditions is that it has the essential component of the gharana or family system. Recently, at London`s O2 Arena, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan performed in front of a jam-packed audience. A heartwarming scene was witnessed when he introduced his son, Shah Zaman Ali Khan, who was sitting to his right, after which the young man sang some sargam patterns along with his father. It was an auditory delight. The young man is talented and has a long way to go, for sure. But tell you what: when he hits the high notes, he sounds a bit like his grand-uncle (Rahat`s uncle) Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. A chhotay ustaad is in the making!
