A little about Farida Khanum:
Farida Khanum was born at Calcutta. She was at Amritsar from a young age and grew up there. She received training of pure classical and light classical music as a child. Her sister Muqhtar Begum and the reputed maestro of Patiala Gharana, Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan, groomed her. In 1947, she migrated to Pakistan. She rendered her first public concert in 1950 in which renowned songstresses like Zeenat Begum and Iqbal Begum presented their ghazals too. Farida Khanum was married in early fifties and shifted to Lahore.
