The documentary starts with the alaap / khayal sung by Pt. Girish Wazalwar (my father) from 0.35 to 1.22 mins. 🙏 He is one of the foremost torch bearers of Mewati Gharana and the principle disciple of Pt Jasraj ji Golden archives. ❤ 0:42 1:35
Maybe I missed where they mention it but I just wanted to say that our wonderful host is none other than the inimitable Zakir Hussain! A very young Zakir.
As informative as this documentary is for which i am very thankful that it is available for viewing here, i am also struck by how evocative it is visually. This aesthetic of film making has a beautiful simplicity and enormous grace. A treasure from the Films Division of India.
22:37 Doordarsan telecasted this sometime in 1980s and it was my first introduction to hindustani classical music and this particular scene is etched in my memory . Thank you for the upload
I thought Khayal didn't really emerge until the late Mughal period, or the 18th century AD. Its main progenitors being Niyamat Khan Sadarang and his milieu. That would be some 400 years after the time of Amir Khusrao. The sitar and tabla are also from the late Mughal period; and not as some traditional accounts, created by Amir Khusrao.
That Friend from America .....Looks like Sanjana Kapoor .....Hmmmm :) But amazing the fact that Zakhir Hussain Sahib had the time to do this for Future Generations thankfully.
Great and very enriching review of the long tradition of Indian classical music. That too from the maestro like Zakirbhai. This is absolutely a treasure. Thanks to the team for concept, content and presentation. Everything is par excellence. Greatttttt.
This video has given me so much information about The Indian Classical music , although I have been a listener for few years . Thanks a lot for explaining it in a highly organized way to us 🙏🙏.I would be ever grateful to you 🙏🙏

I don’t know who was singing that but I have heard Ustad Umrao Bundu Khan singing this same beautiful Kafi Raga composition on a recording from Pakistan
Documentary is nice but where is one of the oldest Gharana for ghayal Gayaki Dilli Gharana . Very sad but its wrong documentry video because Hazrat Amir khusrov Is founder of Khayal gayaki and First Gharana is Dilli Gharana
This documentery is no doubt informative but its absolutely incomplete in many ways. The script of this documentary film is not properly been consulted. Lots of important information is lacking which is ridiculous and shocking. It shoud be rectified as early as possible.
