Ali Akbar Khan

Ali Akbar Khan is a music director in Hindi and Bengali cinema, credited on The Householder (1963).

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan (14 April 1922 – 18 June 2009) was an Indian Hindustani classical musician of the Maihar gharana and one of the foremost exponents of the sarod. Renowned for his virtuosity, melodic invention, and the emotional depth and intensity of his playing, Khan was among the most celebrated Indian classical musicians of the twentieth century. Trained from childhood by his father, Ustad Allauddin Khan, he and his younger sister, the celebrated surbahar maestro Annapurna Devi, became leading inheritors of their father's musical tradition.
