Kamal Sabri

The seventh generation of Sarangi players, Kamal Sabri, popularly known for his adventurous forays in the music world with his experimentations with the Sarangi, is a true example of Gharanedar Taleem. He has performed with most of the top vocalists of India apart from giving solo Sarangi recitals in several music festivals in the country and abroad. An outstanding product of the Ustadi Shagirdi Dastoor/ Guru-Shishya Parampara, Kamal Sabri has represented the country in many world music festivals abroad at an early age. He has also established himself as a favourite accompanist and soloist in the international music arena.

Suhail Khan

The virtuous grandson of the renowned Ustad Sabri Khan, Suhail Khan holds great promise as a Sarangi player. This extremely gifted child, who has stepped into the teens, was at one time acknowledged as child prodigy when he mesmerised the audience with his Sarangi playing, at the tender age six.
When his uncle Kamal Sabri used to take classes from his father Ustad Sabri Khan, they observed that the two year old would sit and observe them with great curiosity. This attraction extended to the instrument and the sound emanating from it. He was seen trying to reach for the instrument and pull its strings. It was at the age of three when Kamal one day noticed that Suhail, who was just a toddler then, trying to actually fiddle the Sarangi with the bow.
