Sham Chaurasi Gharana is a vocal gharana (family) in Hindustani classical music known for the singing of vocal duets. It is also known as the cradle of drupad. It is one of the four singing gharanas of Punjab; most notably represented in modern times by the brothers Nazakat and Salamat Ali Khan.
Sukhawat Ali Khan - son of Ustad Salamat Ali Khan, now continues this ancient, sacred tradition in the west. Based in Northern California, he performs and records with a variety of world musicians. He leads a folky, qawwali band as well as a world fusion band described as "evocative, potent and enchanting"
