1 - Ghazals (Na Ganwao Nawuk-e-Neem Kash, Tum Aur Fareb Khao and more). In 1947, she migrated to Pakistan.Listen free to Farida Khanum Gulistan Vol. Her sister Muqhtar Begum and the reputed maestro of Patiala Gharana, Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan, groomed her. She received training of pure classical and light classical music as a child. She was at Amritsar from a young age and grew up there. Farida Khanum was born at Calcutta.
Album Best of Pakistani Ghazals Singer Farida Khanum. More the pity because this hefty chunk of digitised music is a massive contribution to the documentation and preservation of global musics.Best of Pakistani Ghazals Singer Farida Khanum. Not marketed very well, if at all, it soon disappeared from view without making much of a ripple.

And yet, the official music industry (which includes private companies, government and private broadcasters and government policy-makers) of Pakistan has demonstrated only the most cursory interest in preserving and promoting this unique heritage.A commercial bias toward film music and passive aggressive stance towards classical music which was often dismissed as too much influenced by Hindu cultural antecedents was almost completely ignored. Pakistani classical musicians, though less well known than their Indian counterparts, are among the best in South Asia’s gharana-based music. It’s many regions, language groups and cultures are the source of some of the most profound and rich folk traditions on the planet. Agree Pakistan embodies a contradictory position as far as music goes. Without world wide known Queen of Rythem Noora Jahan is incomplete.
The vaults of Pakistan TV and Radio, recording companies EMI and Polydor not to mention private collections and archives controlled by various provincial governments are surely bursting with hours and hours of wonderful music. And of course, the efforts of Sachal Studios and the TV hit show Coke Studio to resurrect the careers of Lahore film studio musicians and make folk music palatable to the Millennial Generation respectively are other high points in the revival of interest in Pakistan’s musical heritage.But so much remains forgotten, undiscovered or simply ignored. The work of Tehzeeb Foundation has been recognised for its quality not just among Pakistani music circles but on the international stage as well. In the past decade or so private citizens have made fantastic contributions to reviving classical music by providing venues, events and recording opportunities for the elders as well as a small handful of up-and-comers.
Throughout this process I have never once felt guilty about doing so, rather have viewed my efforts as altruistic: promoting and keeping alive a rich and diverse tradition of folk and classical music. Among the rare recordings are some early post-Independence performances by Ustad Bundoo Khan (sarangi) and Nazakhat and Salamat Ali Khan as young boys.Sadly, some of the CDs (such as the Nazakhat/Salamat one referred to above) were poorly produced and unplayable! That frustrating inattention to quality and details that characterises bureaucracies with little interest in the work they are charged to carry out!I was given a copy of the box set soon after it was released by a dear friend and over several years and several blogs have shared them with the wider world. One particularly pleasing element of Music Pakistan is the large place given to female singers including: Zahida Parveen, Farida Khanum, Kajjan Begum, Mehnaz, Noor Jehan, Samar Iqbal, Iqbal Bano, Khurshid Begum, Mussarat Nazir and others. For anyone with an interest at all in Punjabi, Pakistani, Sindhi, South Asian folk and classical music this collection is absolutely indispensable.
I am trying, through my contacts to get hold of the outstanding 10 CDs and of course will share them if and when I do. Sadly, that leaves 10 of the original, including ghazals by Barkat Ali Khan, light classical performances by Amanat Ali Kasuri and several others by artists I’ve lost track of. I’ve made a 47th out of several stray tracks from original CDs that were poorly produced. You will receive either an ‘Out of Stock’ message or be met with total silence.Of the 57 original CDs I’ve managed to digitise 46. And while there are outlets that claim they will sell you the full boxset, I’ve not yet found place that actually will.
Ustad Nazakhat Ali Khan and Ustad Salamat Ali Khan Sadiq Ali Khan Mando and Master Sohni Khan Ustad Mohammad Sharif Poonchwaley Vol. Simply my way of keeping track of this vast and amazing collection. That is for personal reasons of no particular consequence.

A New York based ‘chamber’ quartet led by sitarist Murgai, NME creates intricate, finely spiced musical atmospheres that draw on Indian classical, jazz, and gypsy music.
