In March 2005, Maam Entertainment had first initiated the idea of presenting a Ghazal concert with the best two contemporary exponents from the Indian sub-continent - Jagjit Singh from India and Ghulam Ali from Pakistan.
Both the maestros were thrilled to see the enthusiasm music lovers of Bangalore had shown by their strong presence. Ever since there has been a demand for another concert from the maestros which has finally materialised and will take place on August 5.
Ghulam Ali can easily be termed as the most versatile ghazal singer. Along with Mehdi Hassan, he has played a pioneering role in reviving the Ghazal in the seventies. He can deservedly be called an influential amabassador from across the border, who, when he sang Faasle aise bhi honge, yeh kabhi socha na tha brought ghazal from both the countries closer to one another.
