Irfan Khansahib belongs to a long line of hereditary family of sarod players that directly trace their centuries-old musical heritage to the royal courts of India. In each stroke you can hear the generations of musicianship and musical knowledge ingrained in his sound. This is the deeply authentic form of Hindustani music that is now rare to experience in India, and even more so in Sydney.
