Ghulam Ali (born 1940) is a famous Pakistani ghazal singer of the Patiala Gharana. He is not to be confused with the eminent classical vocalist Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (of whom he was a disciple) or Chhote Ghulam Ali, who is another Pakistani singer, but in the qawwali style.
Ali was born in the village of Kaleke in the Sialkot district of Punjab, British India (now in Pakistan). He belongs to a musical family; his father was a vocalist and a sarangi player who gave him early training. At the age of 15, he became a student of the legendary Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, who was a master of the Patiala Gharana (Patiala School) of Hindustani music. His actual training was provided mainly by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan's three brothers: Barqat Ali Khan, Mubarak Ali Khan, and Amanat Ali Khan, in Lahore. All these great teachers of classical music taught him the finer nuances of classical music and his solid foundation of classical music included studying Thumri and learning to sing ragas.
What makes Ghulam Ali's compositions special is his perfect understanding
of the poetry, the soul of a ghazal. He sung poems of so many great poets right from Mirza Ghalib, to Aamir Khusro,Ahmad Fayaz, Qateel Shifai, Fahat Shahzad, Gulzar, Akbar Allahabadi..
"What I'm today is only because of the Almighty and my guru. It was my father's insistence and my good fortune that the great man agreed to train me. Three of my guru's brothers, Barqat Ali Khan, Mubarak Ali Khan and Amanat Ali Khan, taught me the finer details of classical music, including the thumri and the various ragas. Nothing is complete without a tribute to my guru," believes Ghulam Ali.
