Ustad Bismillah Khan

 

USTAD BISMILLAH KHAN & PARTY Shehnai

EMI, 1983, 6TCS 02B 2458

Ustad Bismillah Khan (1914-2006) brought the shehnai out of the rituals with which it was associated to the concert stage. The formula is always the same : the lead shehnai backed by several shehnai including a drone and usually several tabla and dhol. This recording is also available on LP.
