  • Abstract:
  • Vilayatkhani Baaj is a Sitar playing style where the sitar sounds like a singing voice, which seamlessly integrates Khayal and Sitar, with the Sitar artfully replicating the nuances of Khayal Gayaki. There are different styles of Khayal, and its stylistics is based on the voice, tone, preference and strategies for executing ragas, talas, articulation, patterns, ornamentation, improvisation, expression etc. Khan sahab took several khayal elements and implemented in his sitar. He fused Khayal gayaki and Tantrakari ang in such a way that it could transcend the acoustic, aesthetic, and emotional richness of vocal presentation through it. Thus, he made a progressive development from dhrupad-ang-based sitar to a khayal-ang-based sitar through numerous structural, technical and stylistic changes. He was primarily influenced by Ustad Faiyaz Khan, Ustad Abdul Kareem Khan, Abdul Waheed Khan and of course, his bosom friend, Ustad Amir Khan.
