Ustad Gulam Hassan Shagan : Bhara-Khayal singing Qadir Shagan : Singing Saijiat Ali : Tablas Mazhar Shagan : Harmonium http://www.mondomix.com/francais/scr_artist.php?art_continent=Asie&artist_id=364 "In Pakistan, more specifically in Lahore (formerly one of the historic capitals of the vast Mogul Empire) the tradition of master musicians still persists. Known as Ustad, they are the descendants of historic families and the torchbearers of Hindustani classic music. Singers, sitar, sarangi or tabla players, they are all the keepers of these centuries-old ragas, whose essence they preserve with the utmost rigor and concern for purity. Their task is made easier by the relative isolation of Pakistan from the tourist circuit, which has thus left it untouched for the most part by certain modern influences from the West. One of the finest artists in Pakistani music is the great mastersinger, Ustad Gulam Hassan Shagan." World Village
