Described by Songlines magazine as ‘one of the 20th century’s great masters of the sarod’, Amjad Ali Khan is an artist with a mission to communicate. ‘Since my childhood, I always wanted my instrument, the sarod, to be able to express the entire range of human emotions – to sing, shout, whisper and cry,’ he says, and over a career spanning six decades few living exponents have given a more expressive voice to the ancient stringed instrument at the heart of Indian classical music. He’s joined by his sons Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash – both leading virtuosos in their own right – as well as outstanding performers on the tabla and mridangam.
