Raga Hamsadhwani | Rashid Khan (Album: Sangeet Sartaj)

Hamsadhvani (meaning Sound of Swans) also spelled as Hansadhwani, is a rāga in Carnatic music. Hamsadhvani is also extensively used in Hindustani music and said to be borrowed into it from Carnatic music. It was created by the Carnatic composer Ramaswami Dikshitar (1735–1817) and brought into Hindustani music by Ustad Aman Ali Khan of the Bhendibazaar gharana.
Born on 1st July 1966, Ustad Rashid Khan is an Indian Classical musician in the tradition of Hindustani Music. His first concert was at the age of eleven. He joined the ITC Sangeet Research Academy (SRA) at the age of fourteen. He experiments a lot by fusing Hindustani music with lighter musical genres like a Sufi fusion. He was awarded with Padma Shri in 2006 for his contribution and dedication towards Indinan Music. Apart from this, he has won a number of awards and continues to perform in many musical festivals and concerts across the globe.
