I saw him in Kabul eons ago. Now I’m listening to him in the U.S. I feel fortunate to be alive and still listening to him. God bless your soul, Ustad. Thanks for this masterpiece.
This recording, and this recording alone, is the standard to which every Ustad must aspire when singing Darbari... I'm a student of classical music and I can confidently say there is no better exponent of this raga than Ustad Fateh Ali Khan Sahib.
It is good to acknowledge good artist but to go overboard is not right. In past we had Faiaz Khan, Abdul Karim, Amir Khan and many others who put their own stamp to Darbari.
No denying other singers too excelled in Darbari. But one cannot categorize Ustad Fateh Ali second to anyone. Not in this particular one, but in another one Ustad Fateh Ali has exposed his prowess - I feel he remains unparalleled. @@shamganguly8091
Some years ago I met him in a mehefil in U.K, where the gathering was interested in gajals. He asked me about Kolkata, where he with his brother Amanat Ali made huge impact. What voice and what a kheyslist. He was borned to sing Darbari. Pity he lived in Pakistan, if he was in India he would have been put in highest pedestal. A great artist.
He and his whole family are loved and respected by every Pakistani by the core of their hearts. Money is not everything , he was awarded with the majestic pride of performance as an acknowledgement of his skills and services. Pity to those who put money at highest level.
You comments are frankly complementary but very offensive as well. He is such a great artist that he is love dearly in Pakistan, India, and world over. If Indians had not treated their minorities the way they did and do now, there would have been no partition. What happened afterwards in Pakistan is a different story, but history is repeating in India and they have not learned lessons from the past. Anyhow, may we have peace on both sides. I think people should refrain for such derogatory comments.
Maqboolji, your comment should have been restricted to music and my derogatory comment but not on ‘partition and minority problem’. Art and music are above narrowness of religion and politics. You seem to me a refined decent person and music lover. After rereading my comment which I wrote 4yrs ago, I realised I have been harsh on Pakistan for which I am sorry. It was not my intention. When I witnessed the great Ustad singing in the midst of unresponsive audience and later on was in pensive mood I was sad and then in a conversation with me he expressed how happy he was to sing in India. In another incident I was in conversation with Ustad Salamat Ali after his recital amongst responsive audience, about his sparkling performance in Calcutta in early 60’s where from his fame rocketed. He said,’ Calcutta made me Salamat Ali’. Then I asked him about Pakistan and classical music. He said and I quote,’ in Pakistan only culture is agriculture’. As you you have brought up the subject of minority problem in India , let me remind you that Pakistan do not have that problem because that the large Hindu populations ,Sikhs and Christian are mercilessly driven out. In India there is large Muslim population and other minorities. Did you hear any Muslims migrating to Pakistan or Bangladesh? In India Muslim Presidents, film stars, cricket players thrive. I shall site another example, since the creation of Pakistan you never had one stable government. Where as , with all its fault, our democracy thriving all along. I respectfully repeat your remark of peaceful coexistence.
I am a Pakistani and i do accept that Pakistani singers are much appreciated in India but we do love to the core of our heart singers like Ustad Fateh Ali and Ustad Amanat Ali. They are our pride and we feel blessed to have artists like these who have been admired all over the world by classical music lovers like yourself. Peace and respect. @shamganguly8091
_Andolan gandhar_ and _dhaivat_ mesmerize as the serenity of Ustad-e-muhtarram's _aalaap_ engulfs the entire cosmos. The regal _Kharaj_ of the great Ustad makes this divine rendition even more awe-inspiring. This bandish _Mubarak badiyaan shadiyaan_ _Tohe Deni Allah Rasool_ was rendered by Ustad Fateh Ali Khan with his brother Ustad Amanat Ali Khan for _bara khayal_ before the Maharaja of Patiala who later hired them as court musicians( few years before the partition of subcontinent). Even without it, the hypnotizing _aalaap_ is alone enough to enrich the horizons of your imagination and lead one into the unseen. RIP the great Ustad 🙏
یا اللہ پاک ان کو اور جتنے کلمہ گو انسان حضرت آدم علیہ السلام سے لے کر آج تک وفات پا چکے ہیں سب کو جنت الفردوس میی اعلی مقام عطا فرمائیں آمین ثمہ آمین یا رب العالمین
I was sitting on a couch when I was listening to this when I heart this raag by ustad fateh Ali khan completely after that I was trying to stand up and I couldn't mein kia batawon jis accurate frequency se khan sahib ne gaya he jis tareke se murky or jis tareke se zamzama jis asane se khan sahib zamzama lagate hein me kia kaho or behlawoon ke bare me kia kaho wah wah bas lafz nahi hein mere pas
He was innovative; had imagination to make the Raag sound soothing to the soul. What distinguished him apart from other singers was his professional approach. Just sit on your knees in front of him with folded hands and listen to the outstanding presentation.
One who sang raag Darbari after Ustad Salamat Ali Khan and Ustad Nazakat ali khan accompanied by Ustad MIYAN SHAUKAT HUSSAIN KHAN on Tabla was Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan and Ustad Amanat Ali Khan better known Duet for raaga singing performed and also for drut brandish and Tarana. Thanks Allah for sending them to the good earth for the mankind lovers of classical music in India & Pakistan.
I used to listen to Ustad's probably the same recoding marketed by Music Today in their gharana series, where it was featured Patiala Gharana. Ever since the arrival of digital era I was on the lookout for the digital version. I remember that the living media record was made in 1995. Thanks a lot for this upload....
The mellowest of Darbari I have ever heard.Wah wah; ethereal, ecstatic and intoxicating rendition this one is. None other than Khan Sahab could do it. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting to scan through the comments. Makes one wonder where all the rancor and differences between the followers of different religions vanished! When one is confronted with the highest beauty no one has the time for ugliness - like parochialism and hatred.
Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan, the one you are listening in this video was a hardcore classical singer of the patiala gharaana. The father of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan also having the same name was a Qawaal. And with all due respect the father of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan including he himself are NO MATCH for this legendary classical singer. Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan's father Ustad Akhter Hussain was also the Master of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan who was himself a matchless singer if the name rings a bell
Jaspreet Singh yeh pakka Sangeet sunate hain. Yeh qawwali nahin gaate hain. Qawwali singing is easier to enjoy. This Ustad ji is singing music which one has to acquire a taste for. Once you start to enjoy Pakka Classical Hindustani music, there’s no going back to Qawwalis.
I saw him in Kabul eons ago. Now I’m listening to him in the U.S. I feel fortunate to be alive and still listening to him. God bless your soul, Ustad. Thanks for this masterpiece.

The end of classical music rendition, superb, supermost, no comparison. The end. The End. Direct path to God.
rendition of DARBARI is excellent.this is sweet and beautiful.ustad bade fateh ali khanis a great asset to HINDUSTANI MUSIC.
He was innovative; had imagination to make the Raag sound soothing to the soul. What distinguished him apart from other singers was his professional approach. Just sit on your knees in front of him with folded hands and listen to the outstanding presentation.

Finally Someone said it
Please listen to Ku Ba Ku phail gai (Darbari Based ) by Mehdi Hassan
I can tell with fully confident that this voice is coming from the heaven.
مبارک بڑیاں شادیاں توہے دینی ﷲ رسول
kya baat hai Ustadji. Divine voice, transports one to another world. Darbaari is grand,and how beautiful your music is!
I used to listen to Ustad's probably the same recoding marketed by Music Today in their gharana series, where it was featured Patiala Gharana.

Subhan Allah
Amazing this speaks to my heart and soul altho i dont understand the words. Magnificent universal music. Greetings from a moroccan fan.
Ufffff kya sakoon aur tehraO hai es raag mein
It takes a maestro like Bade Fateh Ali Khan to produce a voice & imagination like this. And this world needs another Bade Fateh Ali Khan.
This rag transport you to another world. Very hard to match anything of this quality that directly touches your soul. Unbelievably vocals.
I like Fateh Ali Khan,s sweet classical singing, particularly Raag Darbari, very best.
Interesting to scan through the comments. Makes one wonder where all the rancor and differences between the followers of different religions vanished! When one is confronted with the highest beauty no one has the time for ugliness - like parochialism and hatred.
Beautifully put in words 😍👍🙏
So Buetty Full
Omg, it can't be better than this. When one is confronted by highest beauty there is no time for ugliness..

Unlike krne valo pr hairan hu

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between ustad fateh ali khan and ustaad Fateh Ali khan (Nusrat s father)
Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan, the one you are listening in this video was a hardcore classical singer of the patiala gharaana. The father of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan also having the same name was a Qawaal. And with all due respect the father of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan including he himself are NO MATCH for this legendary classical singer.

Jaspreet Singh yeh pakka Sangeet sunate hain. Yeh qawwali nahin gaate hain. Qawwali singing is easier to enjoy. This Ustad ji is singing music which one has to acquire a taste for. Once you start to enjoy Pakka Classical Hindustani music, there’s no going back to Qawwalis.
nandi4crc you took my exact words!
Ya nusrat fatah ali ka father hen?
No he is younger brother of Ustad Amanat Ali and elder to Hamid Ali Khan and uncle of Shafqat Amanat
Yeh parka gana gate hain. Yeh qawwali nahin gaate.
