Ustad Salamat Ali Khan (1934-2001) is one one of most renowned classical singers of Pakistan and Indian Subcontenent. Ustad was born in 1934 in a small place called Sham Chaurasi in District Hoshiarpur of East Punjab. The story goes that his ancestors, Chand Khan and Sooraj Khan, were granted the area of Sham Chaurasi by the Mughal king Akbar.

He was seven when, along with his elder brother Nazakat, he made his first public appearance and performed at the har-ballub mela in Punjab in 1940. They sang the morning raga Mian Ki Tori for nearly one hour. Those listening to the two youngsters were grand masters Ustad Abdul Aziz Khan beenkar, Pandit Krishnarao, Pandit Omkarnath Thakur, Ustad Bare Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Tawakkal Husain Khan, Ustad Jamal Khan, Narayanrao Veyas, Mubarak Ali Khan and many others. They heartily
applauded the young singers and gave them their blessings.

Ustad won many national and internation awards including highest civil honors by Pakistan Government.
In September 1978 Salamat suffered a stroke while performing at the Ravi Shankar Hall in London. He took a long time in recovering and managed to make a comeback with a new partner - his son, Sharafat. But the period of glory was almost over. Ustad Salamat Ali Khan was no more the Tansen that he once was. The great singer called it a day on 11 July 2001.
