      Ustad Hussain Baksh Amritsari was born at Amritsar in a family of sarangi players.
      He got his early training from his father Ustad Fateh Din and his uncle Ustad
      Sain Ditta.He started public performing at an early age.He became shagirid of Ustad Piran Ditta of Jhlandar. He was inspired by Ustad Shakoor Khan. After partition, the family migrated to Lahore.He was an integral part of all sarangi performances at Lahore.All the well known vocalists were his personal friends and he accompanied all of them. He had well known shagrids like Ustad Pheero Khan, Ustad Abdul Hameed, Nisar Hussain, Murad Ali, Hazara Singh and others. His tradidition is now being carried forward by his grandson–Zohaib Hassan Khan.
      He died in Lahore in 1885.
      Zohaib Hassan Khan is a young promising Sarangi Player and working very hard to make good name for himself and his family.Zohaib Hassan is at Lahore.

  7. It is this bejeweled foundation upon which Sikh gurus composed hymns for liberation of soul and creation of love filled souls.That is why Guru sahibs gave top priority to keertan singing/listening.May God give peace to all raga singers may be vocalists or instrumentalists who by their very very hard work kept the traditions alive.I have used ragas in my web site so that people may relish heavenly fruits.
