Qawwal Bacchon gharana
The Qawwal Bacchon Ka Gharana or Delhi Gharana is the oldest khayal gharana of the Hindustani Classical music tradition.[1] It was founded by Amir Khusrau and his students.
History
[edit]The members of this gharana have lived in Delhi for many generations. The gharana was founded by Amir Khusrau, pioneer of qawwali, tarana, and khayal.[2] As a result, this gharana specializes in these genres.
Style
[edit]Members of this gharana approach raagdari with more freedom than the dhrupad-informed gharanas, like Gwalior, Jaipur, and Agra.[3] Emphasis on bhav and exposition are the hallmarks of this style.[4]
Repertoire
[edit]In addition to extensive khayal compositions, the gharana is known for its qawwals.[5]
Controversy
[edit]Some orthodox members of the Indian subcontinental or South Asian music world do not regard the Delhi gharana as an "authentic" one because its members include a number of tabla and sarangi players. Some believe these members do not represent a truly unique musical style. Scholars note the individual quality of each generation's leading singer. Though, this tradition is a gharana in familial terms.[citation needed]
It is strictly forbidden to play Sarangi in the tradition of the original Qawwal Bacche.[citation needed]
