Ustad Chhotay Ghulam Ali Khan

Ustad Chhotay Ghulam Ali Khan, an exponent and maestro of North Indian Classical music, Ustad Chhotay Ghulam Ali Khan, was from Kasur, Punjab. Born in 1910 to a family of professional musicians, he studied music with Ustad Chhajju Khan and Ustad Mian Buddhay Khan Beenkar (a disciple of the Delhi-based Qawwal Bacha clan). Chhotay Ghulam Ali began to sing on the radio-mike soon after its advent in the subcontinent. No music conference was complete without him in those years. He proved to be a sensation, roaming the whole of undivided India, conquering it wherever he went: Amritsar, Lahore, Delhi, Banares, Calcutta, Bombay. He was the cousin of the legendry Ustad Bare Ghulam Ali Khan who stayed on in India after partition and thrived there.
