of Rajasthan, Nawab Khan boasts of music in his blood. The immense

Santoor is an ancient string musical
instrument with 100 strings attached, native to Jammu and Kashmir. It is
played with a pair of light wooden mallets or hammers with both hands.
The Santoor is a very delicate instrument and is very sensitive to light
strokes and glides. The music flowing from Santoor is equally beautiful
to the snow clad mountains and beautiful shikaras on the Dal Lake of
Kashmir. Nawab started playing music at the age of
6 and he discovered
his love, interest and passion for Santoor as his main leading
instrument. His Santoor has been mesmerizing listeners across the globe
since 1994. He has performed with illustrious artists like
Ustad Ghulam Mustafa khan, Ustad
Dastgeer Khan, Ustad Sultan Khan, Ustad Patti Khan, Ustad Khadim Hussain,
Niyaz Ahmed Khan, Aliyaz Khan, Pandit Bhawani Shanker, Ustad Sharif
Ghuzal , Philip Jacob, Villi Pal, Carlos Gettezto, Goerge Scott.
Nawab also boasts of an array of listeners like
Prince Charles, Siya Muslim Spiritual
leader, His Highness Aga Khan, Sting, Michnel Douglas, Madonna, Kenyan
President Kibaki, Liz Hurley's, Italian businessman Loro Piana.

Nawab Khan
è un artista di fama mondiale, proveniente da un’antica famiglia di
musicisti che si esibiva presso la corte reale del Maharajas del
Rajasthan. Testimone dell’immenso contributo che la sua famiglia ha
apportato al mondo della musica, Nawab Khan ha saputo conservare
l’inestimabile tesoro della tradizione musicale classica trasmessagli
dai suoi antenati facendolo conoscere a tutto il mondo. Mentre nella
tradizione musicale di famiglia lo strumento prediletto era il Sarangi,
Nawab Khan sceglie di suonare dall’età di sei anni il Santoor in quanto
strumento più adatto a trasmettere il suo messaggio d’amore e ad
esprimere la sua creatività. Il Santoor è un antico strumento musicale
dotato di 100 corde, tipico dello Stato del Jammu e Kashmir.

Viene suonato con due bacchette tenute dal
musicista con entrambi le mani. Il Santoor è uno strumento molto delicato e
sensibile la cui melodia fa pensare alle montagne innevate ed alle shikaras, le
imbarcazioni di legno tipiche dei laghi del Kashmir. Dal 1994 Nawab Khan incanta
le platee internazionali esibendosi insieme ad artisti illustri quali
Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, Ustad Dastgeer
Khan, Ustad Sultan Khan, Ustad Patti Khan, Ustad Khadim Hussain, Niyaz Ahmed
Khan, Aliyaz Khan, Pandit Bhawani Shanker, Ustad Sharif Ghuzal, Philip Jacob,
Villi Pal, Carlos Gettezto, Goerge Scott. La musica di Nawab
Khan è profondamente apprezzata e fra i suoi estimatori annoveriamo il
Principe Carlo, il
leader spirituale Siya Muslim, Sua Altezza Aga Khan, Sting, Micheal Douglas,
Madonna, il Presidente del Kenya Kibaki, Liz Hurley, l’imprenditore italiano
Loro Piana. Nawab Khan si è esibito inoltre in Germania, Francia, Spagna,
Olanda, Belgio, Svizzera e Kenya e le sue musiche sono state impiegate per vari
documentari e film.
Oltre ad aver
conseguito un Diploma in Musica, Nawab Khan si è specializzato in Terapia
