Ghulam Ali
(b. 1940)
Profile
Ghulam Ali can easily be termed as the most versatile ghazal
singer ever. Along with Mehdi Hassan,
he has played a pioneering
role in reviving the Ghazal in the seventies. He can deservedly be
called one of the most influential amabassadors from across the border, who,
when he sang Faasle aise bhi honge, yeh kabhi socha na tha brought
ghazal from both the countries closer to one another. Listeners
are always left breathtaken and spellbound as Ghulam Ali takes center stage
and unlocks the eternity of emotions that run through his exquisite
rendering of the ghazal. The timeless poetry attains eternity when
expressed in his vocals.
Ghulam Ali was born in a village in Sialkot district, of Pakistan in 1940 into
a musical family. His father was a vocalist as well as a sarangi player. Ghulam Ali
got his initial musical training from his father. Later he was briefly trained by
the legendary ustad
Bade Gulam Ali Khan, Bade Mubarak Ali Khan and Barkat Ali Khan. Thus Ghulam Ali
got a good foundation in classical music.
He started singing for Lahore radio in 1960 and has been immensely popular ever
since. He has been cutting couple of albums a year.
The hallmark of Ghulam Ali's style
is his mastery over Classical Music and perfect understanding of the
ghazal. He fuses them perfectly to bring this complex amalgam
within the easy reach of all. The result -- timeless
compositions like Hungama kyon hai barpa, >Dil mein ek lahar si uthi
hai abhi, Mehfil mein baar baar usi par nazar gayeen, >Kal
Chaudavin ki raat thi, to name only a few. His incomparable rendition
of the ghazals through his pioneering style, coupled with his impeccable
voice, carries even the most disinterested listener to a height where
sheer ecstasy reigns supreme.
