Hindustani Classical Vocalist and Child prodigy Master Madan

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.
