Nishad Kawa May 24, 2014

Nishad Ali Kawa, grand son of the great classical singer, Abdul
Gafoor Kawa, was born in 1994, in Jaipur, India.He started practicing
and nishad kawa learning tabla at the age of 2 with his uncles Ashik
Ali (who performed with Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt…) and Amjad Ali (who
performed with Ustad Sultan Khan, Ustad Raïs Khan, Ustad Gulam
Ali…)Thanks to the teachings of his master, the great Ustad Hidayat
Khan Sahib, he has developed a great technique and a rare sense of the
improvisation with an undeniable virtuosity.

In the pure tradition of the Delhi Gharana (the school of Delhi),
Nishad Ali develops some rhythms in 10, 12 or 16 times as well as the
complexes and rarely played 9,11 or 13 times.Young genius of the
drums, he participates, at the age of 3, at the classical contest of
the Darshak Sanstha and wins the Bhal Vishiste price.

He was noticed very young by some great famous masters, like his
future guruji Ustad Hidayat Khan (who accompanied Pt Ravi Shankar,
Ustad Vilayat Khan, Pt Bhimsen Joshi, Ustad Gulam Mustapha Khan…), but
also by Ustad Fayaz Khan (table), Ustad Sultan Khan (sarong)Then,
Nishad used to play all over Rajasthan with his brothers. They
performed at the Virasat festival of Jaipur and for the president of
India, M. APJ Abdul Kalam.He accompanied also some great classical
musicians like Vani jai Ram or Begum Afroz Bano (with no doubts the
greatest singer of thumri, still alive today).

Today, Nishad Ali performs all over India (Hyderabad, Puna, Delhi,
Mumbai, Jaipur….)He performed abroad too (Jeonju Sori festival in
south Corea, 2007) and 2011 was the year of his first great european
tour (France, Belgium, Holland, England…)
