NCPA Bandish: Festival of Legendary Composers - Day 3. Artists - Shekhar Sen & Shujaat Husain Khan.

The works of Raskhan (1541-1603) and Raheem (1556 - 1627) epitomise religious syncretism. Though of Muslim origin, the major corpus of their work is devoted to Lord Krishna.

Shekhar Sen, a music composer, lyricist and actor, will present the compositions (pad, geet) of Raskhan and Raheem.

The finale of the Festival will be the presentations of ghazal, qaul and qalbana, composed by the legendary poet and musician Amir Khusrau Dehlavi (1253 AD), by Shujaat Husain Khan with his unusual style that draws from his remarkable ability to express through voice as well as the vocalised idiom of the sitar.
