Born on September 5th, 1979, Ayaan Ali
Bangash represents the seventh generation of a musical lineage
known as the Senia Bangash School. The younger son and disciple
of the Sarod titan Maestro Amjad Ali Khan, Ayaan stepped into
the world of music and the Sarod with confidence, clarity,
consistency and technical mastery that he learnt at his father's
knee.
After giving his solo debut at eight, Ayaan has been performing
concerts world wide ever since. He has given many solo performances
and also assisted his illustrious father at concerts all over
the world including performances at the Smith Sonian, Carnegie
Hall, St. James Palace and the Barbican Center. In addition,
he has assisted his father and elder brother Amaan, at a special
concert for HRH Prince Charles at his Highgrove residence.
His mother, Subhalakshmi Khan, an artist in her own right,
sacrificed her career as a classical dancer to devote herself
to the family and sustain its heritage. Ayaan has given joint
performances with pianist Dominique Barthassat and percussionist
Jean Bruno Meier on several occasions. He has also assisted
his father in the signature tune of the 48th International
Film Festival.
Bestowed with the 'Best Budding Artist of the Year' award
by the Prime Minister, Ayaan also received the Soorya Award
in Trivandrum. Recently, his solo debut album was released,
recorded in the presence of his father and guru.
