"In the master's hand, the Sufi-influenced melody he coaxes from it (the sarangi) is transformative" - Michael Sullivan on National Public Radio (NPR) Weekend Edition.

"His songbook contains the roots of India's national popular music" - Aaron Cohen, Chicago Tribune

Lakha Khan, 67 is a sarangi player and vocalist, and perhaps the greatest exponent of the sindhi sarangi. He was born in the village of Raneri in Jodhpur district, Rajasthan, India into a family of traditional musicians from the Manganiyar community. Today, Lakha Khan is one of the last remaining Manganiyars to have mastered this complex instrument and to carry forward the centuries-old musical tradition of Rajasthani folk and Sufi music.

Ishmeet represents the coming of age brand of Indian musicians who are classically trained and love to experiment with sound, melody and voice texture. Born in India, Ishmeet has captured hearts of many with her melodious voice and trend breaking style. Ready to shine in the Indian music scene, Ishmeet is already collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry.
