3) Remembering the legend Ustad Vilayat Khan Aug 28th 2009

Bharat Sitar Samrat, Aftaab-E-Sitar Ustad Vilayat Khan.
Vilayat Khan's was a personality shaped by the conviction that it was destined to leave its mark on the world. He would not have been happy with just being the greatest sitarist; he had to be amongst the all-time greats of Hindustani music. This set him on a path of passionate absorption of the tradition, unrelenting innovation and the pursuit of superhuman standards of perfection in the execution of his musical vision.

RIP khansaab...you are still alive for us and you will be with us until the end.

Yes he sits in front of the Maharaja but he himself is the Prince that came and gave us the sitar.
I do feel that he will be remembered for the next thousand years.

He was the best Sitarist India had, not only a Sitar player but a Bharat Ratan...an encyclopidea on music, a treasure for us. He is my Idol.

I don’t think he was ever even offered the Bharat Ratna 😅😅😅 Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Bismillah Khan were awarded that honour as far as I remember.
