Imdadkhani gharana

Imdadkhani gharana

The Imdadkhani Gharana is a North Indian school of sitar and surbahar music, stemming from the very ancient Gwalior Gharana. It was created by Ustad Imdad Khan (1848–1920), and is also known as the Etawah Gharana, after a village outside Agra where Imdad lived. Many direct descendants of Imdad Khan continue the tradition today (see Khan family).
