TRUE KIRANA GHARANA

This gharana derives its name from a place called Kirana near Kurukshetra, the birthplace of one of the most revered names in the Indian classical world, Ustad Abdul Karim Khan (1872-1937). However, the gharana"s ancestors go back to many generations before him, the most notable predecessor being the legendary Beenkar Ustad Bande Ali Khan, Ustad Nanhai Khan, RahimBaksh Khan and MolaBakh Khan (Guru of Darbhanga Maharaj), Kaniz Khan (Grand Father Of Ustad Mahmood Khan), Farishtai Walai HadarBakh Khan, Ustad Ganik khan, Ustad Ahamad Khan and Rehman Baksh Khan (the grandfather of Faiyaz-Niaz Ahmed Khans and Ustad Noorhassan Khan). Essentially they were vocalists and Beenkars, but after Bande Ali Khan, the successors took to sarangi and vocal including Abdul Karim Khansaheb.

Although the gharana was named after a North Indian town, its influence is more dominant in the Deccan plains of Maharashtra and Karnataka. This was because Abdul Karim Khansaheb migrated as a young musician to Baroda, from where he moved to Mysore.

Abdul Karim Khan"s style delineated from the then existent schools. He stressed on clearly intoning notes, the swara, and a serene unfolding of the raga. The maestro"s gayaki was highly influenced by the ‘tantakari ang’- the distinctive style of playing the "been", with emphasis on the resonance of notes and sustaining a note through techniques such as ‘meend’ and the ‘gamak’. Contrary to the Gwalior style, this school emphasized alaap and a use of the vilambit laya (slow tempo) to present the khayal. The influence of the sarangi can be felt very strongly in the style of this gharana. The Kirana gharana, assigns a significance to the alaap when presenting the raga, rather than emphasizing on the bandish. It also stresses on ‘swara sadhana’ i.e the individual emphasis on each note of the raga to bring forth its melody. Thus it can be said that the style of the Kirana gharana is slow, easy-paced and calm in its movement through the raga.

Another notable feature of this gharana is that it is one of the few that includes the "thumri" (a light classical vocal form) as part of its khayal performance. However the Kirana Thumri is different from the ‘purabi’ (north Indian) style of the thumri, as it does not use the concept of ‘laggi’ or doubling of the tempo, in course of the thumri. Purists therefore feel that the Kirana Thumri lacks the lilt and emotive appeal of the north Indian thumri as it lays relatively less emphasis on laya.

A contemporary and nephew of Abdul Karim Khan was Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan who settled in Lahore and actually represents the original flavour of Kirana gayaki which later came down to Faiyaz Ahmed Khan and Niaz Ahmed Khan (the latter still singing),Ustad Noorhassan khan and their nephew Mashkoor Ali Khan (son of sarangia Shakoor Khan) the youngest and most important representative of the original Kirana Gharana today.

Kirana Gharana also produced top most Sarangi player of world because Ustad Abdul Karim Khan and Ustad Farishtai walai Haidarbakhs khan was also used to play sarangi in his early stage. Kirana has give the top most sarangi player like Padam Sharee Ustad Shakoor Khan, Ustad Majid Khan, Ustad Basheer Khan (Father of Ustad Niyaz ahamed and Faiyaz ahamed Kahn) Ustad Hafizullha Khan ( Son of Ustad Wahid Khan), Ustad Abul Khan, Ustad Mahmood Khan, Pandit Ramnarayan etc.
