Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan<\/strong> was born to Ustad Fateh Ali, the co-founder of the Patiala\u00a0Gharana<\/i>\u00a0in the later part of the 19th Century. It is said that Ustad Fateh Ali Khan was a very\u00a0surila gawaiya<\/i>. He died much before Ustad Ali Bakhsh Khan, the other cofounder of the\u00a0gharana<\/i>. Growing up without the supervision of a father, Ashiq Ali Khan became an\u00a0enfant terrible.<\/i> \"\"He would just not subject himself to the discipline that his inheritance demanded. It is said that he ran away from home and went to his maternal uncle Amir Ali Khan in the Multan area. According to another account, he just loafed around at shrines and places of amusement. He was finally rescued by the\u00a0shagirds<\/i>\u00a0of his father – Mian Maharbaan and Sardar Bai. Sardar Bai took him to her home. He was properly coached by both of them enabling him to become a\u00a0gawaiya<\/i>\u00a0of great stature in an era of many front rank artistes.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

He was also credited with singing the\u00a0kaafi<\/i>\u00a0in the classical\u00a0ang<\/i>. It is said that Ali Bakhsh Khan, the father of Baray Ghulam Ali Khan and Barkat Ali Khan was a great\u00a0kaafi<\/i>\u00a0singer. He may have influenced Ashiq Ali Khan. He may also have picked some of it in his interaction with the Punjab\u00a0gawayas<\/i>, some from his own family, who had settled in Sindh, where besides many other experiments and\u00a0bandishes<\/i>\u00a0in Sindhi they sang the Sindhi\u00a0kaafi<\/i>\u00a0in the classical style. This may have given him the cue by showing the possibility of developing the\u00a0ang<\/i>\u00a0of Sindhi and Punjabi\u00a0kaafi<\/i>\u00a0in his own imitable style. That caught on and was later sung by many others including some of the masters of the Patiala\u00a0Gharana<\/i>\u00a0including Baray Ghulam Ali Khan, Barkat Ali Khan and Ustad Salamat Ali Khan of Sham Chaurasi.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Usad Ashiq Ali Khan too was a\u00a0gawaiya<\/i>\u00a0trained and schooled in the tradition where the final make-or-break point was a live performance before a discerning audience. To the many who saw and heard him perform, it was a treat and as he was truly indomitable. His performance was always a class act in which he used to great advantage the stronger part of his\u00a0gaiki<\/i>. The strong point was\u00a0mushkilaat<\/i>\u00a0that he was taken in by because unlike some of his famous contemporaries he did not have a naturally attractive voice. He had to develop other musical strengths to counter the dominance of the more naturally gifted vocalists. Besides the very intricate, complicated and forceful\u00a0taans<\/i>\u00a0his\u00a0laikari<\/i>\u00a0was much appreciated and applauded.
