Recorded in St. Mary’s Friary, Lahore, Pakistan, April 1998
Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan (1935 – 4 January 2017) was among the foremost Khyal vocalists in Pakistan, and a leading exponent of the Patiala Gharana tradition of music. He was the younger of the legendary singing duo Amanat Ali and Fateh Ali, who enjoyed immense prestige and success across the subcontinent and beyond until the sudden and unexpected death of Ustad Amanat Ali Khan in 1974. For his contributions to classical music, he was honoured (along with Amanat Ali) with the highest national literary award of Pakistan – the Pride of Performance – by the President of Pakistan in 1969.
