Continuing from where we left off last time, and I believe we were talking about the vocalists of Hindustani music, our first track for the day is by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan in Raag Basant. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan was born way back in 1902, and he's part of an older generation of singers. He was from the Patiala Gharana, and he is considered an representative of Hindustani Music at the turn of the 20th century. On the other hand, the singer of our next track, another well-known vocalist, Pandit Jasraj, who was born in the year 1930 and belongs to the next generation of Hindustani singers. He is from the Mewati Gharana, and the reason I decided to play his track next is to bring out the contrast in their styles of singing.
