Kala Kahani Episode 20: Shakir Khan

Shakir Khan is one of the most promising young exponents of the legendary Etawah Gharana, following in the musical footsteps of his prodigious father and guru - the sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan.
Shakir represents the eighth generational link in an unbroken chain of musical talent and tradition poured exclusively into the sitar and surbahar. A chain that includes, besides Ustadji, the musical legacy of Ustad Aziz Khan (Shakir’s paternal grandfather), and that of the patriarchal surbaharist Ustad Wahid Khan (Shakir’s great grandfather). Great Ustad Vilayat Khan is his grand uncle .
In this episode of #KalaKahani, listen to Shakir Khan talk to noted anchor and filmmaker Sadhna Shrivastav about performing extensively worldwide, his musical advents with his father, and how he introduced Sitar to the world of Jazz Music!
