Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan - Great Master Great Voice (1947)

"Raga Multani" by Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan


Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan, or Deaf Wahid Khan, is a Hindustani classical singer.  With his brother-in-law Ustad Abdul Karim Khan, he founded the Kirana gharana (of which Pandit Pran Nath was a student).  He refused to have his voice recorded out of fear or imitators, but All India Radio music producer Jivan Lal Mattoo secretly recorded a 1947 radio performance to document his style.  Wahid Khan died in 1949.

Here is the complete discography for Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan:
