Ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali's velvety voice has a special touch and feel. His journey through music has been very long as he started learning music from his father when he was just eight years old. He was fascinated towards classical music and his father was also inclined to impart lessons to him in that stream. When he was 18 he took to learning under Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. Here he came across ghazal, thumri and dadra and he got attracted to the alfaaz of ghazals. So he merged the classical music with the ghazals and brought a new genre to the fore. His signature style became popular and he stuck to that forever. "Music is only that which has originality. That's why remix doesn't do it for me. I think everyone should try to create their own identity rather than borrow someone else's," he says.

Ghulam Ali likes to perform in live concerts for the interactive vibe and crowd reaction, which is says is a big achievement for an artiste. His focus lays on concerts but he also tales care to release an album or two a year so that he can reach out to larger audience. "I am very clear about only taking on songs that are brilliant in terms of shayari. That's very important to me because main ghazal nahin gaata. Main ghazal ko gaata hoon." That's true! Ghulam Ali is coming out with an album with Asha Bhonsle in about four months. He praises Asha for her brilliant voice and says that she is a legend in her own right. This is his second album with her. He has also recorded ghazals for two movies 'Ashk' and 'Bekarar'. Following his tour of Europe and America he will go for some more recordings.

Shady,

Ghazal Shayar gaate hain, aor jo singer hote hain woh Ghazal ko gaate hain. Ghulam Ali kahna chahte hain ke woh sirf acche ghazal ko lete hain, they do not need to think about the composition of it and Ghulam Ali bas usko gaa dete hain. Ab samajh mein ayaa? It appears no difference between these two statement but there is huge difference meaningfully.

Thanx Jaadoo ji i was explaining the same thing to Shady😊
