Ghulam Ali can easily
be termed as the most versatile ghazal
singer ever. Along with Mehdi Hassan, he has
played a pioneering role in reviving the
Ghazal in the seventies. He can deservedly
be called one of the most influential
amabassadors from across the border, who,
when he sang Faasle aise bhi honge,
yeh kabhi socha na tha
brought ghazal from both the countries
closer to one another. Listeners are always
left breathtaken and spellbound as Ghulam
Ali takes center stage and unlocks the
eternity of emotions that run through his
exquisite rendering of the ghazal. The
timeless poetry attains eternity when
expressed in his vocals.
Ghulam Ali was born in a village in Sialkot
district, of Pakistan in 1940 into a musical
family. His father was a vocalist as well as a
sarangi player. Ghulam Ali got his initial
musical training from his father. Later he was
briefly trained by the legendary ustad Bade
Gulam Ali Khan, Bade Mubarak Ali Khan and Barkat
Ali Khan. He started singing for Lahore radio in
1960 and has been immensely popular ever since.
The hallmark of Ghulam Ali's style is his
mastery over Classical Music and perfect
understanding of the ghazal. He fuses them
perfectly to bring this complex amalgam within
the easy reach of all. The result -- timeless
compositions like Hungama kyon hai barpa,
>Dil mein ek lahar si uthi hai abhi,
Mehfil mein baar baar usi par nazar gayeen,
>Kal Chaudavin ki raat thi, to name only
a few. His incomparable rendition of the ghazals
through his pioneering style, coupled with his
impeccable voice, carries even the most
disinterested listener to a height where sheer
ecstasy reigns supreme.
