Raga Bhairav Bahar. Ut. Hamid Hussain.
In the past, we posted a Khayal record by Ustad Sarahang singing Raga Bhairav Bahar in the series - 'Hindustani music from across the border' (link below). We now present the same Raga on Sarangi by another fantastic artist - Ut Hamid Hussain of Moradabad. About the artist: “Ustad Hamid Husain belonged to the illustrious Muradabad Gharana of sarangi players. He was born in Rampur in 1923. Soon after his birth, his grandfather Haider Husain Khan along with father Abid Husain joined the court of Rampur. The young Hamid received his initial training in sarangi from his father and grandfather. He also got training in sarangi from his maternal unclce Ustad Ali Jan of Rampur. Hamid Husain joined the All India Radio, Delhi when he was only 15 years old. In 1943 he went on an extensive tour of Europe where he gave solo sarangi performances. Ustad Hamid Husain accompanied most of the senior vocalists of his time including Ustad Fayyaz Khan, Ustad Amir Khan, Begum Akhtar (Akhtar Bai Faizabadi), Roshan Ara Begum, Ustad Nazakat Ali-Ustad Salamat Ali Khan and Ustad Amanat Ali-Ustad Fateh Ali Khan. He had enjoyed a lengthy association with Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan.
