BISMILLAH KHAN
Bismillah Khan (born Qamaruddin Khan, 21 March 1916 – 21 August 2006),
often referred to by the title Ustad, was an Indian musician credited with
popularizing the shehnai, a reeded woodwind instrument. While the shehnai had
long held importance as a folk instrument played primarily schooled in
traditional ceremonies, Khan is credited with elevating its status and bringing it
to the concert stage.
He was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 2001,
becoming the third classical musician of India after M. S. Subbalakshmi and
Ravi Shankar to be awarded the Bharat Ratna
Khan had a brief association with films in India. He played the
shehnai for Rajkumar's role of Appanna in the Vijay's Kannada-
language film Sanaadi Appanna which became a blockbuster. He
acted in Jalsaghar by Satyajit Ray and provided sound of shehnai
in Vijay Bhatt's Goonj Uthi Shehnai(1959).
