The Mirasi lineage which has preserved the heritage of Sufiana Qalam - through all these generations - witnessing war, droughts, religious backlash and economic penury is today falling apart in the consumeristic world we have created. Much of the folk traditions and music forms are tottering today and are lost in lifestyles offering instant gratification as comfort, where everything needs to be compressed into seconds and rarely is there time to experience the lifetime that traditional music offers.
Despite economic hardships and the onslaught of globalization which threatens to dilute much of folk traditions and music forms, Mukhtiyar has stood firm and kept alive the oral tradition of Sufiana Qalam. He has made the best of the few opportunities that have come his way. His performances in India and abroad got overwhelming responses. He indeed shared his music in Belgium, Sweden, China, Canada, Germany and France. Mukhtiyar is not only a Sufi singer but also sings Rajastani folk music and Kabir.
Mukhtiyar has a voice which can only be experienced and never expressed. He has preserved the ideology of Sufiana Music which impels divine communion with an ectasy created in total detachment. He pervades this very essence of sufiana qalam with his involvement not just in the music but also in its poetry.
He has to his credit many performances (see events), has cut 2 albums brought out by the Shristi School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, as a part of the Kabir project under Shabnam Viramani, has recorded with the African singer Ameth Male (“Arguai”, to be released), with the Moroccan singer Sophia Charai (“Pichu”, released by Universal Classic&Jazz in 2011), is part of the Times Music Sufi Masterpieces II with his song “Mera Sohan Sajan” (2010), and just finished recording an album with Mathias Duplessy “Jeena, Jeena”, to be released in 2012.
He has also lent his voice in a couple of films:
Had Anhad from Shristi (2006)
Featured and sung for “Bombay Summer” directed by Joseph Mathew Varghese (2008)
Tashan, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya (2008)
Tamil film, Kathai, directed by Abhishek (2010)
Delhi in a day, directed by Prashant Nair (2011)

Actor-Filmmaker Pandit Gaurav Gautam with Resp.Padma Shri Prahlad Singh Tipaniya
Also known as 'Prahladji' (Lunyakhedi, Ujjain)
Folk Singer
From 1978 to present
Prahlad Singh Tipaniya is an Indian folk singer who performs Kabir bhajans in the Malwi (Malwa) folk style from Madhya Pradesh. He performs together with a group of tambura, khartal, manjira, dholak, harmonium, timki and violin players.
Prahlad Tipaniya was born in a Dalit family in Malwa, Madhya Pradesh. Prahlad Singh Tipaniya toured in the UK and the United States, as well as in India, and his music has been played on All India Radio stations in Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Patna, Lucknow and Kanpur. Tipanya has received several awards including the Padma Shri in 2011.
He also performed at the annual Sufi music festival, Ruhaniyat
rahlad Singh Tipanya—one of the most compelling folk voices of Kabir in India today—combines singing and explanation of Kabir bhajans in the folk style of the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh.
In 1978, at the age of 24, Prahladji first heard and was captivated by the sound of the tambura, a 5-string plucked instrument. He was a village schoolteacher, and singing was not a family tradition. But this became a defining moment for his life. Through the tambura, Prahladji encountered the world of Kabir. The words of this fifteenth-century saint-poet are sung in village after village by hundreds of bhajan mandalis, whose members have kept alive an unbroken oral tradition of singing Kabir’s poetry for 600 years. Prahladji entered this world of all-night bhajan sessions as a learner. Over three decades later he is a household name, his cassettes and CDs heard in countless public and private places. Many acknowledge him as having powerfully contributed to a resurgence of Kabir oral traditions and music in Malwa.
Prahladji was born in the small village of Lunyakhedi, District Ujjain, in 1954. His parents, Atmaramji and Sampatbai Tipanya, were poor and unlettered. After going to live with his maternal grandparents in Manpur, near Indore, he was successful in school and advanced to an M.A. in History, after which he became a government schoolteacher. Today he is Headmaster at Kanasiya Middle School for Girls.
Prahladji combines a powerful singing style with a magnetic ability to communicate with his audiences. His concerts are more than entertaining music. They are deep engagements with the spiritual and social thought of Kabir. In Malwa he is not only admired as a singer, but also revered as one who propagates, with great personal intensity and engagement, the messages of Kabir. His concerts stress the need to rise above petty divisiveness, sectarianism, empty ritualism and hypocrisy, and the need to adopt love as the ultimate religion.
Unswayed by the trends of mixing filmi tunes and synthetic sounds in folk music, Prahladji has resolutely nurtured a Malwi folk music idiom. A new sound he is responsible for introducing is that of the violin, which has now become a trend for bhajan mandalis of his area. He performs with his troupe, which includes accompanying singers and instrumentalists playing manjira, dholak, harmonium, timki and violin. Prahladhji himself plays the tambura and kartal.
He has performed for audiences at local, state, national and international levels. Since 1980 his voice has been heard on All India Radio stations in Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Patna, Lucknow and Kanpur. He has also been a frequent artist on Doordarshan. In 2003 his troupe performed in London, then toured the US for over two months. In 2005 he went to Pakistan, and in 2009 there was another two-month tour of Canada and the US. His awards include Malwa Ratna, Shrestha Kala Acharya, Isuri Samman, Bhajan Bhushan, Madhya Pradesh ka Shikhar Samman, the Sangeet Natak Academy award and most recently the Padma Shri award.
In 1997, Prahladji set up the Kabir Smarak Seva Shodh Sansthan (Kabir Memorial Service and Research Institute), on a plot of land granted to him by the state government adjoining his home in Lunyakhedi village. This registered trust organizes an annual event, where thousands congregate to listen to Kabir’s words through bhajans and discourses by gathered singers and spiritual leaders. A school is opening in 2011; further plans include a library of Kabir-related writings and a meditation hall.
Prahladji acknowledges the teaching and guidance of Shri Chenaji Maru, from whom he learned to sing Malwi folk bhajans as a young man. He also acknowledges his spiritual gurus, including Bhimpuri Maharaj (Nath Sampraday), Charan Singh Maharaj (Radha Soami), Griddhmuni nam sahib (Kabir Panth), and Abhilash Sahib, Jyotidas Shastri, Vivekdasji Acharya, Ramjivan Shastri, and Purshottam Sahib, along with the guidance of many other sants and acharyas.

Actor-Filmmaker Pandit Gaurav Gautam with Ghazal Singer - Ustad Azam Ali 'Mukarram' Sahab from the Gharana of Mukarram ''Raampur Gharana''. Rampur-Sahaswan gharana is a gharana (musical heritage) of Hindustani classical music centered in the North-Uttar Pradesh towns of Rampur and Sahaswan. Ustad Inayat Hussain Khan (1849–1919) was the founder of this gharana.
Inayat Khan was a child prodigy, and he married the daughterof Haddu Khan of the Gwalior gharana, and took talim (training) from Ustad Bahadur Hussain Khan, a descendant of Mian Tansen himself. The style has influences of the Dhrupad singing typical of the Gwalior gharana, and the Rampur-Shahaswan style is sometimes regarded as an off-shoot of the Gwalior gharana. The Rampur-Sahaswan gayaki (style of singing) is closely related to the Gwalior Gharana, which features medium-slow tempos, a full-throated voice and intricate rhythmic play. The gharana style is also known for the diversity and intricacy of the taans (rapidfire elaborations), as well as tarana singing.
The renowned singers of this gharana include the first and, perhaps the foremost disciple of Ustad Inayat Hussain Khan, Ustad Hyder Khan sahab. In fact, Ustad Hyder Khan and his family plays a vital role in upbringing the legacy of this illustrious family as, not only him but, after his demise, his son Ustad Fida Hussain Khan and his grandson, the renowned maestro Padma Bhushan Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan made sure that the legacy carries forward to the next generation.
Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan was not just a singer but a great teacher who has given the gharana what it has in the modern era. Also, another legendary singer of this gharana is Ustad Mushtaq Hussain Khan, who was a disciple of first, Ustad Hyder Khan and later on, groomed by Ustad Inayat Hussain Khan sahab. He was the recipient of the forst Padma Bhushan award in singing.
Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan gave some of the best exponents in the field of Indian Classical Music (Hindustani/ North Indian Style) such as Ustad Hafeez Ahmed Khan (ex Deputy Chief Producer Of A.I.R, ex Vice Chancellor of the Indira Kala Vishwa Vidyalaya, the only musical university of India and a recipient of Padma Shree Award), Ustad Sarfaraz Hussain Khan (ex Producer of A.I.R and the eldest son of Nissar Hussain Khan), Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan (recipient of Padma Bhushan Award), Ustad Iftikhar Hussain Khan Ustad Ghulam Akbar Khan, Zulfiqar Hussain Khan, Ustad Rashid Khan (one of the leading vocalists of the modern era and recipient of Padmashri award), Ustad Mujahid Hussain Khan, Mushahid Hussain Khan and Wajahat Hussain Khan and Ghulam Niyaz Khan. Also belonging to the same lineage are Ustad Aftab Ahmed Khan (disciple and son of Ustad Waris Hussain Khan and brother of Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan), Ghulam Qadir Khan, Ghulam Murtuza Khan, Nadeem Khan, Danish Hussain Khan, Azeem Khan, Shazeb Hasan, Arshad Khan, Rizwan Khan and Shahbaaz Hussain.
Belonging to the other family of the same gharana are the disciples and relatives of Ustad Mushtaq Hussain Khan Sahab, one of the other pioneers of the gharana. His family consists of his sons, Ustad Ishtiyaaq Hussain Khan,Ustaad Is-haaq Hussain Khan, Ustad Ghulam Hussain Khan,Ustaad Ghulam Abid Khan, Ustad Ghulam Taqi Khan, son-in-law Ustad Ghulam Sadiq Khan (recipient of Padma Shree),Ustaad Shujaat Hussain Khan,Ustaad Sakhawat Hussain Khan,Shehzad Hussain Khan,Ghulam Fariduddin Khan,Ustaad Muhammad Ahmed, Usama Khan Niazi,Areeb Khan Niazi,Salman Khan Niyazi(vocalist of astitva band),Ustad Afzal Hussain Khan, Ustad Wajid Hussain Khan, Ghulam Fariduddin Khan,Ghulam Abbas Khan, Shakeel Ahmed Khan, Ghulam Siraj Khan, Ustad Maqbool Hussain Khan, Zeeshaan Khan and Ghulam Hasan Khan and Ustad Adnan Khan.
Apparently, there were artists who came in and learned under the able guidance of these legends of Rampur Sahaswan Gharana such as Chajju Khan and Nazir Khan (founder of Bhendi Bazaar Gharana and disciple of Inayat Hussain Khan Sahab), Pandit Ganpat Rao (considered to be the godfather of Harmonium playing in Sub continent territories), Ustad Hafeez Khan of Gudiyani (Gurgaon).
Some other famous names in the same category of musicians who came from elsewhere and learned in Rampur Sahaswan Gharana are Shanno Khurana (recipient of Padma Bhushan Award), Sulochana Brihaspati (recipient of Padma Shree Award), Arun Bhaduri, Deepak Chatterjee, Pradeep Chatterjee, Pranab Biswas, Prasad Kharpade, Chandan Das, A.Hariharan, Sonu Nigam and Shaan, to name a few.
Dr Sakuntala Narasimhan, who is herself a disciple of Ustad Hafeez Ahmed Khan, has written a book on the Rampur-Sahaswan gharana.
