      Nafees Ahmed

      Nafees Ahmed

      Nafees Ahmed Khan inherited the power chords and the intricacy of his flawless solos from his father and mentor, the illustrious sitar player, Ustad Fateh Ali Khan. A mentor himself now, specially in the capacity as head of the department at the National Academy of Performing Arts, his indelible and awe inspiring control of the Sitar has inspired a new generation of musicians and serves as a yardstick across the board.

      A legend at coaxing emotion from the stringed instrument, he’s well versed and equipped to play and mesmerize the audience of all age and backgrounds, and having done so in the past while performing with numerous symphony orchestras and musical ensembles across the world.

      In his debut on Coke Studio, Season 8, Nafees Ahmad Khan graces the platform alongside Hamid Ali Khan, in a duet demonstrating his true mantle as an irreplaceable and incomparable master of his craft even after all these years.
