My Story
Aadaab, I’m Akram Khan. Mausiki is my jaan (life). Born in Ajrada Gharana, son of Ustad Hashmat Ali Khan, I grew up with tabla rhythms echoing everywhere. Guru Purnima is always special - I remember my gurus, their blessings. Started Tabla Academy so this legacy lives on, passing it to my son Zargham too. My father’s journey in 'Mausiqi Meri Manzil' inspires me daily. Yeh hai mera safar, mera riwaaz (This is my journey, my tradition).
My Work
Tabla Performances & Recitals - I play solo tabla recitals, duets, and accompany Hindustani classical artists. Each show is different, every beat is alive.
Ajrada Gharana Style - My tabla follows Ajrada Gharana’s unique qaidas, relas, and old compositions. I keep this tradition alive in every performance.
Art of Accompaniment - When I play with other musicians, it’s like a baatcheet (conversation). Improvising on the spot, matching their mood, making music flow.
Workshops & Collaborations - I teach tabla improvisation workshops, share the stage with legends, and help students dive into the cultural side of tabla.
