Tourism Minister Aditya Thackeray will unveil a plaque commemorating the Padma Vibhushan Ghulam Mustafa Khan Chowk on Carter Road, Bandra, near the Additional Police Commissioners office, on Wednesday.
Prominent singers from Bollywood, members of the UStads family, and his disciples shall witness the momentous occasion to honour the torch-bearer of the formidable Sahaswan Rampur Gwalior Gharana school of music, said a close associate.
Born in UPs Badaun, Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan was the eldest son in a family of musicians, four brothers and three sisters and learnt basics in Hindustani classical music from his father, Ustad Waris Hussain Khan, at a very tender age.
Later, he was groomed by his uncle Ustad Fida Hussain Khan and cousin Ustad Nissar Hussain Khan, which helped polish the traditional styles of Rampur, Sahaswan and Gwalior gharanas that were distinctive to Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khans singing.
Simultaneously, he evinced keen interest in the history of Indian Classical music and studied the ancient styles JatiGayan with Acharya K. C. Brahaspati and conducted research with him.
Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan sang compositions derived from Natyashastra and Brihat Deshi, written by Matang Rishi and sharing Devs Sangeet Ratnakar based on JatiGayan, which were rendered for the first time in 700 years.
He brought to life this ancient Indian Classical Music from the hoary era with 7 of his records of 30 minutes each preserved at the Sangeet Natak Akademy, New Delhi.
The Oscar winner globally-acclaimed music maestro A. R. Rahman said the new square would be a rightful honour to Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan Sahib for his services to Indian Classical Music.
Great Gurus are the eternal force of knowledge and rich tradition which India possesses. The musical knowledge which Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan Sahbi gifted to so many of his students is priceless, he said.
Renowned singer Hariharan is also thrilled and felt at a loss for words to describe his happy feelings for the iconic figure whose works were sung by students of other Gharanas.
A square for my Ustad-ji is the best thing to happen. He was one of the greatest masters of Indian Classical Music and Khayal Gayaki/Gharana. The amount of work he has done and the brilliant compositions he has rendered are simply amazing, said Hariharan.
Shaan is also elated by the tribute to Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan and said all people in the music industry are very proud of it.
