Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan - Raag Kafi Hori - by Nita Ajay

Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan (1895-1962) was one of the greatest figures of Agra Gharana, who excelled both as singer and teacher. His father, Natthan Khan, was himself a legendary singer, and a noted guru. Vilayat Hussain Khan's elder brothers were also noted singers and taught him after their father's early death. Abdullah Khan was Natthan Khan's son who was several years senior to his brother Vilayat.

Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan received his early training in hindustani classical music from his father Natthan Khan who was one of the pioneers of the Agra Gharana. After his father's death, he was trained by his uncles Kallan Khan and Mohammad Baksh. The total number of gurus of Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan sahib are estimated at around 42 which include aftab-e-mousiqi Ustad Faiyaz Khan.
