Karamwaris Khan was one of two young disciples of Ghulam Sabit Qadri of Moradabad at the time that I was learning from him in Delhi—on-and-off between 1994 to 1997. He is now a staff sarangi player at Doorsharshan (DD1), the national TV station. He appears in a few of the videos on Ghulam Sabir Qadri's page. Although this was a long time ago and he is now a much more developed sarangi player, I have given him his own page in fonf memory of him. We shall see a few examples of his practice and playing at the time (when he was 16), usually along with other youngsters.

 

 

 

 Our first example is of Karamwaris practising rag Bairagi  alap followed by a drut bandish, accompanied by a cousin on tabla. The sitting started out with another boy on sarangi, but he was soon eclipsed.
