Shujaat Husain Khan (born 19 May 1960) is one of the most acclaimed North Indian musicians and sitar players of his generation.
He belongs to the Imdadkhani gharana, also called Etawah gharana school of music.[1][2][3]
He has recorded over 100 albums and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best World Music Album for his work with the band Ghazal with Iranian musician Kayhan Kalhor. He also sings frequently. His style of sitar playing, known as 'gayaki ang', is imitative of the subtleties of the human voice.[1][3]
