For today’s Music Monday, I am not sharing a piece of music per say, but a documentary that has many pieces of music in it. Titled “Khandaan” this video explores what it means to be a khandaani musician or gharanedar (belonging to a family of musical lineage) from the viewpoint of Ustad Shujaat Khan, son of Ustad Vilayat Khan. The video gives great insight into the unique experiences that a musician from a musical family has. Of course, he also play various compositions in the video as well while sharing stories of how he learned the pieces. Very well done video that I think you will enjoy. It is in 5 parts. Do take the time to watch them all.
