Akram Khan
 

1965-; Ajrara tradition

Akram Khan represents the Ajrara tradition. He learned first from Niyazu Khan of Meerut and then from his grandfather, Mohammad Shafi Khan, and his father Hashmat Ali Khan. In this excerpt from a demonstration of Ajrara compositions he plays a rela of Habibuddin Khan. The essence of this composition is the placement of the closed bol "tit" and its articulation with different finger techniques.
