Ustad Ghulam Qadir Khan (1912-2002) was a Hindustani classical singer and rudra veena player of the Mewati gharana.[1] He is known for being the former khalifa of the Mewati gharana, the second youngest son and disciple of Wahid Khan (beenkar), and a guru of Pandit Jasraj,[2] one of the most popular Hindustani classical singers of the post-Independence era.
Background
Khan was born Abdul Rashid Khan in Indore to a family of hereditary musicians from the Mewati gharana. His father and guru was Wahid Khan (beenkar), the leading court musician of Indore State.[3] Wahid Khan (beenkar) was persuaded by his younger brother, Munavvar Khan, to let him train Ghulam Qadir Khan in vocal music to continue the Mewati gharana's vocal tradition. The vocal tradition grew in fame due to Wahid Khan's and Munavvar Khan's brother, Ghagge Nazir Khan, who trained Munavvar Khan and adopted him as a son.[4]
Khan relocated to the Sanand Darbar in Gujarat with his uncle and guru, Munavvar Khan, who was appointed its court musician. He learned alongside Jaiwant Singhji Vaghela.[5]
Khan performed frequently on All India Radio,[6][7] taught music at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Mumbai, and trained many students. His disciples include Pandit Jasraj, Suman Kalyanpur, Rais Khan, Pankaj Udhas,[8] Siraj Khan, and Asad Khan.[9]
He died in 2002 at Rajkot.
