Lakha Khan

A living legend and the undisputed master of the sindhi sarangi, Lakha Khan is a national award winner for his contribution to Rajasthani folk music and the greatest exponent of the 27-string sindhi sarangi. Padma Shri Lakha Khan is one of the last remaining masters of this complex instrument, carrying forward the centuries-old musical tradition of the Manganiyars. He is the global ambassador of the folk sarangi with hundreds of international concerts and over 50 years of performance experience. Bestowed with a powerful and melodious voice that perfectly compliments the sindhi sarangi — Lakha Khan’s music transcends boundaries and invokes a spiritual oneness in the listener. He incorporates Hindu bhajans, Sufi kalaams, and the ancient stories and oral histories of the western Indian sub-continent. Lakha Khan sings in five languages including Hindi, Marwari, Sindhi, Punjabi and Multani.
