Shujaat Khan is considered to be among the greatest North Indian musicians of his generation. Son and disciple of the legendary sitar master Vilayat Khan, he is the seventh in an unbroken line of the prominent Imdad Khan Gharana of India, a family which has made significant contributions to the history of classical Indian music. Khan is known both for his mastery of the sitar and for his exceptional voice, applied mainly to folk songs and classical compositions. For more than 20 years, he has toured the world, giving concerts, lecture demonstrations, and master classes, including appearances at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Carnegie Hall in New York and Congress Hall in Berlin. He has also released 25 recordings under various international music labels.
