Like his father, Shakir Khan stands out for his exquisite melodic exposition, his intricate and sophisticated sense of rhythm, and his astonishing flawless instrumental technique. Shakir represents the eighth generational link in an unbroken chain of musical talent and tradition poured exclusively into the sitar and surbahar........... A chain that includes, besides his father, the musical legacy of Ustad Aziz Khan (Shakir’s paternal grandfather), and that of the patriarchal surbaharist Ustad Wahid Khan (Shakir’s great grandfather)........... He is also a close blood relative of the great sitarist Ustad Vilayat Khan. Amit Kavthekar, Ganda-Bandha Shagird of Ustad Allarakha, has rhythm running in his veins began his training with the legend at the early age of six. Since 1991, he was fortunate to be taught tabla intricacies by inimitable Ustad Zakir Hussain. Amit had his basic training in tabla from Shri Ashok Godbole, at the Allarakha Institute of Music. From 1997 to 2003, Deepak Nerurkar, another brilliant tabla maestro, imparted his art to Amit. Recently awarded the Taal Mani by Sur Singar Sansad, Amit is presently learning intricacies of DelhiGharana from Guru Pandit Sudhir Mainkar
