शराफत हुसेन खान

शराफत हुसैन खान (१ जुलाई १९३० - ७ जुलाई १९८५) आगरा घराना (गायन शैली) का एक भारतीय शास्त्रीय गायक थिए।

प्रारम्भिक जीवन र पृष्ठभूमि
शराफत हुसैन खानको जन्म जुलाई १९३० मा उत्तर प्रदेशको अत्रौली भन्ने सानो सहरमा भएको थियो। उहाँको बुबाको नाम लियाकत हुसैन खान, जयपुर राज्यका एक दरबारी संगीतकार थिए, र उनकी आमाको नाम अल्ला राखी बेघम थियो। शराफतको बुबाको जरा शास्त्रीय संगीतकार इनायत हुसेन खान (१८४५ – १९३६) मा जान्छ जसले अत्रौली घरानाको स्थापना गरेका थिए। उनका हजुरबुवा महबूब खान (दरस पिया) थिए। महबूब खान पनि अत्रौली घरानाका थिए। शराफत हुसैन खानको संगीतलाई उनकी आमाको परिवारको रंगिले घरानाले धेरै प्रभावित गरेको थियो। यो घराना रमजान खान (1759-1806) द्वारा स्थापित भएको थियो। शराफतलाई उनको बुबाले शास्त्रीय संगीतको तालिम दिनुभएको थियो, जब उनी अझै बच्चा थिए। जब शराफत मात्र आठ वर्षको थियो, उनको स्पष्ट प्रतिभाले पौराणिक फैयाज खान (1880 - 5 नोभेम्बर 1950), जो उनको मामा, [4] अत्रौली भ्रमणको क्रममा प्रभावित भयो। उस्ताद फैयाज खानको कुनै छोरा थिएन । त्यसैले उनले शराफतलाई ग्रहण गरे, र उनलाई आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारीको रूपमा शास्त्रीय संगीतमा तालिम दिन बडोदा लगे।

आगरा घरानाका स्वर उस्ताद, फैयाज खानले शराफत हुसैन खानलाई उनको पछि स्टेजमा गाउने मौका दिए र शराफत 13 वर्षको हुँदा उनी आफैले छाडेका थिए। युवा केटाको गायन प्रतिभाको दर्शकहरूले धेरै प्रशंसा गरे। उनी धेरै कन्सर्टहरूमा तनपुरा नामक वाद्य बजाउने सहायक भूमिकामा फैयाज खानको गायन पनि साथ दिने गर्थे। केही संगीत समीक्षकहरू विश्वास गर्छन् कि शराफत हुसैन खानले आफ्नो गायन प्रतिभाको लागि वास्तवमा आफ्नो जीवनकालमा भन्दा बढी श्रेय पाउन योग्य थिए।

सांगीतिक तालिम
फैयाज खानको मृत्यु हुँदा शराफत २० वर्षका थिए । उनको मृत्युपछि उनका मामा अता हुसैन खानले उनलाई तालिम दिन थाले । पछि आगरा घरानाका विलायत हुसैन खान उनका ससुरा बने र उनलाई तालिम दिन थाले। शराफत हुसेन खान तीन शास्त्रीय संगीत घरानाहरू - आगरा, अत्रौली र रंगिले द्वारा प्रशिक्षणको उत्पादन थिए।

Sharafat Hussain Khan (1 July 1930 – 7 July 1985)  was an Indian classical vocalist from the Agra Gharana (singing style).

Early life and background
Sharafat Hussain Khan was born at a small city called Atrauli in Uttar Pradesh in July 1930. His father's name was Liaquat Hussain Khan, a court musician in the Jaipur State, and his mother's name was Alla Rakhi Beghum. Sharafat's father's roots go back to classical musician Inayet Hussain Khan (1845 – 1936) who founded Atrauli Gharana. His maternal grandfather was Mehboob Khan (Daras Piya). Mehboob Khan also belonged to Atrauli Gharana. Sharafat Hussain Khan's music was greatly influenced by the Rangile Gharana of his mother's family. This gharana was founded by Ramzan Khan (1759–1806). Sharafat was trained in classical music by his father, when he was still a child. When Sharafat was only eight years old, his apparent talent impressed the legendary Faiyaz Khan (1880 – 5 November 1950), who happened to be his maternal uncle,[4] during one of his visits to Atrauli. The maestro Faiyaz Khan had no sons. So he adopted Sharafat, and took him away to Baroda to train him in classical music as his heir.

The vocal maestro of Agra gharana, Faiyaz Khan gave Sharafat Hussain Khan a chance to sing on stage after him and to continue singing where he himself had left off, when Sharafat was about 13 years old. The audience showed much appreciation to the young boy's singing talent. He also used to accompany Faiyaz Khan's singing in a supportive role playing the instrument called Tanpura in many concerts. Some music critics believe that Sharafat Hussain Khan deserved to get more credit for his singing talent than he actually did during his lifetime.

Musical training
Sharafat was only 20 years old, when Faiyaz Khan died. After his death, his maternal uncle Ata Hussain Khan started training him. Later Vilayat Hussain Khan of the Agra gharana became his father-in-law and continued training him. Sharafat Hussain Khan was a product of training by three classical music gharanas - Agra, Atrauli, and Rangile.

Sharafat Hussain Khan was made an Honorary Fellow of the Performing Arts Academy of Uttar Pradesh.
