Mehdi Hassan

Mehdi Hassan has no equal when it comes to male ghazal singers. Hailing from a family of professional singers, he has put his own mark on the technique of ghazal singing. His voice, though small, is capable of rendering the most delicate melodic patterns in a manner which is authoritatively and unmistakably his. He has recorded hundreds of ghazals and travelled widely, holding concerts all over Europe and the United States.

He was honoured with the Pride of Performance medal in 1985.
