Ustad Amir Khan (b. 15 August, 1912) (Hindi: अमीर ख़ान), was a well-known Hindustani classical vocalist. He was born in a family of musicians in 1912 in Indore, India. He is considered to be one of the most influential figures in Hindustani classical music, and is the founder of the Indore Gharana.
Amir Khan's mother passed away when he was nine years old. Young Amir Ali was initially trained in the sarangi by his father Shahmir Khan, himself an expert sarangi player from the Bhendibazaar gharana. However, seeing his interest in vocal music, his father gradually devoted more time to vocal training, focusing on the Merukhand gayaki (style of singing). His father died in 1937.
Amir Khan lived for some time in Delhi and Calcutta, but after the partition of India he moved to Bombay.
Amir Khan developed his own singing style, incorporating the styles of Abdul Waheed Khan, Rajab Ali Khan and Aman Ali Khan. He helped popularise taranas, as well as compositions in Persian. Besides singing in concerts, he also sang film songs based on ragas, most notably for the films Baiju Bawra, Kshudhita Pashan, Shabaab, and Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje.

As an innovative singer Ustad Amir Khan has no equals in the later part of 20th century. As a performing artist with his own unique style and technique he achieved unparalleled success and adulation of critics and connoisseurs.
Born at Indore in 1912 to a family of musicians, he was trained in Sarangi by his father Shamir Khan and later under Ustad Rajab Ali Khan of the Bhendibazar Gharana in vocals.
He was also influenced by Kirana masters Ustad Abdul Karim Khan and Abdul Wahim Khan, especially latter's treatment of raga in slow tempo. Later Amir Khan evolved his own style of singing very slow or ati vilambit Khayal which he developed in a most leisurely mood with deep serenity and contemplativeness for which he was to become most famous. It has now come to be regarded as the Indore Gharana.
His technique and style has greatly influenced many artists including Pt Nikhil Bannerjee, the entire Imdadkhani School of Sitar headed by Ustad Vilayat Khan apart from many other Khayal vocalists including the young master Ustad Rashid Khan.
He was also a very learned man, an expert in Sanskrit and Persian. He composed many bandishes from an early age.

| | Mohinuddin Dagar, Raag Puriya, Dhrupad, ध्रुपद - 621 sec
Mohinuddin Dagar (1921-1967)+++ the photo of the senior Dagar Brothers was made in 1954. +++
Dhrupad (Hindi: ध्रुपद) is the oldest surviving style of music in the Hindustani musical tradition in India. Its name, from dhruva-pada, simply means "refrain", and today denotes both a form of poetry and a style of music in which the poetry is sung.
Like all Indian classical music, dhrupad is modal, with a single melodic line and no harmonic parts. The modes are called raga, and each raga is a complicated framework of melodic rules. What sets dhrupad apart from other styles are long elaborate alapas without drum accompaniment, with a slow and deliberate melodic development, gradually developing an accelerating rhythmic pulse. Apart from obvious differences in the form of the musical presentation, one may notice a wealth of micro-tonal ornamentations that move between or around the tones that are typical for Dhrupad. The composition is sung to the rhythmic accompaniment of a pakhavaj and not tabla as in Khyal.
There are said to be four broad stylistic variants of dhrupad -- the vanis (or banis): Gauri (Gohar), Khandar, Nauhar, and Dagar. These are tentatively linked to the five singing styles (geetis) known from the 7th Century: Shuddha, Bhinna, Gauri, Vegswara, and Sadharani -- but more importantly, there are a number of dhrupad gharanas: "houses", or family styles.
How the gharanas relate to the vanis is a debated question. At any rate, the most well-known gharana is that of the Dagar family, who of course sing in the Dagar vani. The Dagar style puts great emphasis on alap, and for several generations, their singers have been known to perform in pairs (often pairs of brothers). The Dagars are Muslims, but sing Hindu texts. Dagar family lore speaks of twenty generations of dhrupad singers in an unbroken line. Some of the best dhrupad singers outside the Dagar family, such as Pt Ritwik Sanyal, Uday Bhawalkar, Gundecha Brothers and Nirmalya Dey belong to the Dagar vani. As the family repertory and all details are passed down orally by father to son or uncle to nephew, the elders were vieuwed first and foremost as Guru (teacher). In the Dagar-family it is usage to place the fathers' name before the personal name, to which -uddin is added. Note as example: Nasir Fayazuddin, whose father was Nasiruddin. Nasir and Fayaz are the personal names. N.Fayazuddin Dagar's son is called Wasif, thus Fayaz Wasifuddin Dagar.
From Bihar state come two other gharanas, the Malliks (Darbhanga Gharana) and the Mishras (Bettiah Gharana). The Malliks are linked to the Khandar vani, and emphasize the composed song over improvised alap. Pt. Ram Chatur Mallik was a famous exponent of Darbhanga Gharana in the last century. Today the famous Dhrupad performers of Darbhanga Gharana are Pt.Abhay Narayan Mallick and Pt.Vidur Narayan Mallick.
The Mishras practice Nauhar and Khandar vani, with some unique techniques for nomtom alap. This gharana flourished under the patronage of Kings of Bettiah. The most famous exponents of Bettiah Gharana today is Pt. Indrakishore Mishra and Pt. Falguni Mitra.
The form of Dhrupad prevalent in Darbhanga and Bettiah is also known as Haveli Style of Dhrupad.
In Pakistan, dhrupad is represented by the Talwandi gharana, who sing in the Khandar vani.
Alongside the classical performance tradition, the practice of singing dhrupad in temples continues to this day. Only a very small number of recordings of this singing has been made. It bears little resemblance to concert dhrupad: there is very little or no alap; percussion such as bells and finger cymbals, which are not used in the north Indian classical setting, are used, and the pakhawaj used is a smaller, older variant called mrdang, quite similar to south Indian classical mrdangam.
Compositions exist in time-cycles (talas) as tivratala (7 beats), sultala(10 beats) or chautala (12 beats). A composition set to the 10-beat jhaptala is called Sadra, and one set to the 14-beat dhamar tala is called a Dhamar. The latter in particular is seen as a lighter musical form, and associated with the Holi spring festival of colours.++++

Ali brothers continued to tour India from their base in Pakistan, participating in music conferences and giving concerts. After the 1965 Indo-Pak war and esp. after 1971 war, patronage for classical music greatly declined in Pakistan. In 1974 Nazakat Ali Khan, the elder brother separated because of a family feud and Salamat had to adopt to solo singing. Nazakat nearly quit singing.

Mogubai Kurdikar (Marathi: मोगुबाई कुर्डीकर) (July 15 1904 -- February 10 2001) was a renowned North Indian classical vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana (school).
Mogubai trained students such as Padma Talwalkar, Kamal Tambe, Wamanrao Deshpande, Suhasini Mulgaonkar, Babanrao Haldankar, Arun Dravid, and her own daughter, Kishori Amonkar. (Indian government has honored Kishori with Padma Vibhushan award for her musical talent.) Some of Mogubai's recordings have been reissued as a volume of RPG Music's Vintage 78 RPM Recordings on CD series (CDNF150596).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogubai_Kurdikar
"...At this stage in her career, Mogu could likely have supported herself as a performer. But she chose not to. Not content with the prospect of being just another name on the scene, she wanted to become the best, the foremost representative of a tradition (as she has observed in Alladiya Khan). She gave birth to a daughter, Kishori, and kept practicing on her own, until one day Alladiya came back to her. They performed the gandha-bandan, and he now kept teaching her to the end of his life. She became one of the topmost singers in North India, even hailed as "the queen" by Alladiya in public. She received the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1968 and the Sangeet Research Academy Award in 1980, and was decorated with the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour for service to the nation, in 1974..."

Smt Hirabai Barodekar [1905-1989] was one of the most important female vocalists of 20th century.
[low audio quality is regretted]
Her recital of Raag Yaman:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbZFkKCPKBo
Hirabai Barodekar was born as Chempakali into a musical family in 1905. Her mother was Tarabai Mane and father, the legendary Kirana master Ustad Abdul Karim Khan. Tarabai Mane was the daughter of Sardar Maruti Rao Mane, who was the brother of Rajmata of Baroda state. Abdul Karim Khan was the court musicians there and used to teach Tarabai Mane. When they decided to get married, both of them were ousted from the state along with Abdual Haq, the brother of Abdul Karim Khan. They had to come to Bombay where Tarabai Mane settled down. The couple had three daughters: Hirabai Barodekar (Chempakali), Kamalabai Barodekar (Gulab) and Sarswati Rane (Sakina or Chotutai) and two sons: Suresh Babu Mane (Abdul Rehman) and Papa (Abdual Hamid or Krishna Rao Mane).
Hirabai Barodekar had her initial training from brother Suresh Babu Mane and doyen of Kirana Gharana Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan, who was a cousin of Ustad Abdul Karim Khan. In 1922 Tarabai left Abdul Karim Khan, thus, she got only limited guidance from Ustad Abdul Karim Khan.
Hirabai had a very successful career. Her sweet and melodious voice was much appreciated. She was also an expert in Khayal, Thumri, Marathi Natyageet and Bhajan. She was the popular face of classical music and credited with having popularized classical music among the masses. She was even chosen to sing 'Vande Mataram' from the Red Fort on Independence Day, in 1947. She started the Nutan Sangeet Vidyalaya for teaching music to girls from respectable families and staged several plays through the platform of this school. She also acted in several films, Suvarna Mandir, Pratibha, Janabai and Municipality.
She became a recording artist quite early in her career. As was the norm in those days, recording companies changed the name of the artist to make it more appealing. That is how Champakali became Hirabai Barodekar. The early 78 rpm recordings have been re-rleased on cassettes by RPG in their Classical Gold series.
Hirabai received several awards including the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1955 and the Padma Bhushan in 1970. She visited China and the East African countries as part of the Indian delegation in 1953. She also trained a number of students such as Saraswati Rane, Prabha Atre, Malati Pande, Janaki Iyer, Shaila Pandit, Suvarna Chandrashekharan. Hirabai passed away at the age of eighty-four, on 20 November 1989.

| | Sureshbabu Mane. vocal, Raag Bhairavi - 234 sec
Sureshbābu Māne (1902 - 1953) was a prominent Hindustāni classical music singer of Kirānā Gharānā in India.
[appologize for the low audio quality]
Sureshbabu was born as Abdul Rehmān to Kirana Gharana master Ustād Abdul Karim Khān and Tārābāi Māne. Tarabai was the daughter of Sardār Māruti Rāo Māne, a brother of princely Barodā state's "Rajmātā" during the middle of the 19th century. Abdul Karim Khan was the court musician in Baroda when Tarabai was young, and he taught her music. The two fell in love and decided to get married; but Tarabai's parents disapproved of the alliance, and the couple had to leave the state (along with Abdul Karim's brother, Ustād Abdul Haq Khān). The couple moved to Bombay (Mumbai), and had two sons: Suresh or Abdul Rehmān, and Krishnā; and three daughters: Champākali, Gulāb, and Sakinā or Chhotutāi. In their adult lives, the five respectively became known as Sureshbābu Māne, Krishnarāo Māne, Hirābāi Badodekar, Kamalābāi Badodekar, and Sarswatibāi Rāne.
Sureshbabu had his initial training from his father, and later training from the doyen of Kirana Gharana, Ustād Abdul Wahid Khān, (who was a cousin of his father), and from Sawāi Gandharva.
Sureshbabu was an expert in Khyāl, Thumri, Marāthi Nātya Sangeet, and Bhajan. He performed in musical roles in several Marathi plays, and movies.
Sureshbabu's sister, Hirābāi Badodekar, and Prabhā Atre ---two well-known classical music singers-- were among his important disciples.
An annual music festival is held in Mumbai in the name of Sureshbabu and Hirabai.
