Happy New Year 2021

Ustad Mohammad Hanif Khan Mirajkar was born in 1938 into a family of musicians. He is the son and disciple of the great Tabla maestro, the late Ustad Mehboob Khan Mirajkar. He has also learned Tabla from his elder brother, Late Ustad Abdul Khan Mirajkar. He has also had the opportunity to learn under the maestro Ustad Jahangir Khan from Benares, under whose tutelage he learnt many rare tabla compositions. Ustad Mohammad Hanif Khan became a full time tabla teacher in 1986.

Great quote by Legendary Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Saheb! 
 

Master Madan (28 December 1927 - 5 June 1942), a child prodigy (not to be confused with music composer Madan Mohan), died at the young age of 14 years, sang only a few songs which are everlasting and embedded in perfection. During his lifetime he recorded only 8 songs. Of these, only two Ghazals are available publicly. These are the famous, 'Yun Naa Rah Rah Ke Hame Tarsaiye' and, 'Hairat Se Tak Raha Hai'. The other six songs are very rarely found, and of great archival value.
