Texas’s Dallas: Ustad Hamid Ali Khan, a well-known Pakistani classical vocalist and the successor to the Patiala Gharana, encourages young people to enjoy both classical and modern music.
Ustad Hamid, the recipient of two distinguished national awards, told Ge News: “My message is to listen to both contemporary and classical music.”
While contemporary music has its allure, genuine music is the result of years of work and commitment. One must listen to it and comprehend its depth in order to appreciate it.
“My goal is to compose music that appeals to the younger generation while progressively educating them about the value of classical music. Introducing children to ancient forms and genres such as thumri and ghazal is crucial.
