Gharanon Ki Gaiki - Vol. 18 - Hameed Ali Khan & Fateh Ali Khan - Gwalior Gharana



See our earlier post of a cassette by the two brothers here.

The two brothers were and still are well-known Khayal singers in Pakistan. Not to be confused with the famous Patiala Gharana singers of the same names. It seems that they stopped at one point to sing together. See below the links to their facebook sides.

Gharanon Ki Gaiki - Vol. 9 - Fateh Ali Khan - Vol. 1 - Patiala Gharana


Next we have three cassettes by the great, very charismatic Patiala singer Ustad Fateh Ali Khan. I'm personally very fond of him and his emotionally charged voice. For me it is like old vine: makes you drunk. Such beautiful recordings. There have been quite a number of CDs by him, some still available (for example from: info@raga-maqam-dastgah.com).
See here our earlier post of a cassette by him.
