Ali Akbar Khan
"For us, as a family, music is like food. When you need it you don't have to explain why, because it is basic to life."
-Ali Akbar Khan
Ustad Ali Akbar Khan's family traces its gharana (ancestral tradition) to Mian Tansen, a 16th century musical genius and court musician of Emperor Akbar. Ali Akbar Khan's father, the late Padma Vibhusan Acharya Dr. Allauddin Khan, was acknowledged as the greatest figure in North Indian music in this century. Ali Akbar Khan himself is one of today's most accomplished Indian classical musicians.
