\n<\/strong><\/span>Peyman Rouhandeh is an Iranian Setar player\/ composer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Canada\u2019s most recognizable Indian Classical musician, the globally renowned Cassius Khan is a performer of combining the Classical styles of Ghazal\/Thumri singing and the Tabla, the North Indian pair of drums and presents both, simultaneously. He is the senior disciples of the late Malika e Tarannum Mushtari Begum (Dec 25th 1934-March 14th 2004) and Tabla maestro Ustad Rukhsar Ali, who belongs to the Delhi Gharana of Tabla playing. Combining Indian Classical singing with Tabla, for a single artist, is a first in Indian classical music. Many noted Indian Classical Music gurus have proclaimed that singing and playing Tabla in unison is a difficult feat to master as Tabla playing requires skill and strength, as well as an absolute concentration on the kaleidoscopic rhythm patterns of the repertoire, and singing requires absolute skill in the execution of notes and vibrations of the voice and excellent breathing control. Khan\u2019s trademark is performing the extremely rare and difficult \u201cTarannum Ang Gayaki style\u201d in which the lyrics share a different metre from the rhythm but they join at the Sum point in a certain phrase.<\/p>\n
