Ustad Salamat Ali Khan and Ustad Nazakat Ali Khan were born in the heartland of Punjab at Shamchaurasi, district Hoshiarpur, both belonged to a family of traditional musicians representing the Shamchaurasi gharana. It is claimed that the gharana was founded in the 16th century by Mian Chand Khan and Mian Suraj Khan who were contemporaries of Mian Tansen at the court of Mughal emperor Akbar. Prior to the emergence of Ustad Nazakat Ali Khan and Ustad Salamat Ali Khan as exponents of khayal, the gharana specialised in the dhrupad form of singing and was particularly renowned for its tradition of duet performances known as jugalbandi. Mian Karim Bukhsh Majzoob, Ustad Ahmed Ali Khan, Ustad Niaz Hussain Shami, and Salamat Ali Khans father Ustad Vilayat Ali Khan were some of the illustrious members of the Shamchaurasi gharana
This Khayal & Tarana is not been sung by Ustad Salamat Ali Khan Sahib; it has been sung by his younger son Shafqat Ali Khan. It is one of the best of his performances.
