hello all may be you will not agree with me but in our world of today there are still good musicians with regard to instrument playing but I see a great void as far as vocalists are concerned specially classical vocalists.Pakistan is almost devoid of them except some artisits of Patiala Gharana and in india I like Kishori Amonkar and ofcourse Parveen Sultana it is a pity but seriously a very golden period of vocal classical music has ended lets see who carries on the tradition.

Very true. I think amateurs should be encouraged in this respect.

The concert in Karachi took place at the Pakistan Institute of International affairs on August 21, 2006. Sitar nawaz Nafees Ahmed has written a review in the September issue of Herald .
The concerts were a resounding success. Despite the changes necessitated due to visa problems, the halls in Lahore and Karachi were jampacked. The Ustad got standing ovations at the end of all the pieces he played.
A ‘diary’ of the visit will be posted at Sadarang Archives
