About

Gulfam Sabri belongs to a lineage of traditional musicians and represents the 7th generation of the Sainia Gharana of Rampur-Moradabad. He is the youngest sibling of the great Sarangi maestro Ustad Sabri Khan, who is a recipient of the Padma-Bhushan award. His illustrious father Ustad Sabri Khan initiated Gulfam Sabri into music at a very early age. He has carved a niche for himself as a Sufiana & Ghazal singer and is committed to popularizing this art form. His singing is not only restricted to the Indian music but also involves western and Asian musicians and theatre artists. Gulfam Sabri has performed in India as well as abroad. In 2000 he participated in the 'Re-Orient Festival'- Estonia and also had the honour to perform in UK's prestigious festival 'BBC Live-2000', to usher the millennium at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham. This talented artist gave a solo performance followed by a Sarangi recital by his father- the living legend Ustad Sabri Khan. He was accompanied by his renowned brother Ustad Sarwar Sabri on the tabla. In March 05 and November 05, he not only performed in an International Sufi festival in Kabul-Afghanistan to commemorate the Chishti tradition of Sufism, but was also specially invited by the King of Afghanistan King Zahir Shah at his Palace to perform before a select elite gathering where his rendition of ghazals was well received by the discerning connoisseurs of music. The festival was organised by the Ministry of Culture ICCR- Delhi and In July '06 he performed for Asian Sufi Festival In Srinagar-Kashmir.
