UMAR KHAN | Raga Darbari Kanada: Vocal recital (1963)

Vocal: Ustad Umar Khan Raga Darbari Kanada: Alap followed by a selection of bandishes recorded at the Luthfullah Audio Library/Pakistan on 13th may 1963 Few people know that beside his main occupation as an instrumentalist on sarod Ustad Umar Khan was also a very well trained singer who studied vocal music with the greatest luminaries of his time: Ustads Faiyaz Khan, Rajab Ali Khan and Alladiya Khan. "Umar Khan (1st January 1915 - 22nd February 1982) was largely trained on the sarod by his father Sakhawat Hussain Khan and in addition adopted much of the Kalpi repertoire that his brother Ilyas Khan had learnt from teachers outside the family (Abdul Ghani Khan, Yusuf Ali Khan). His friends included the likes of Mushtaq Ali Khan, Fahimuddin Dagar and the sarod maestro Ali Akbar Khan, a peer group that influenced Umar Khan’s artistic horizons, in addition to his formal training. For much of his professional career, Umar Khan remained in the employ of the nawab of Jalpaiguri. The nawab’s daughter, a serious musician, studied surbahar under Umar Khan for several decades. “Whenever concert offers came my father’s way, the nawab would make a generous counter-offer that killed his financial motivation to perform,” said Irfan Khan. The nawab’s deep respect for the ustad and his benevolent patronage wrecked Umar Khan’s career as a sarod soloist. So frequent were the disruptions that he gradually faded away from the concert stage, and consequently from the memory of the listening public."
