Explanation:
Bismillah Khan was born on 21 March 1916
His name also bears a unique story behind it: On his birth, his grandfather thanking God, uttered "Bismillah" and the name Bismillah stuck!
His ancestors were court musicians in the princely state of Dumraon in Bihar.
His grandfather, Rasool Bux Khan was the shehnai-nawaz of the Bhojpur King's court.
His father, Paigambar Bux, and other paternal ancestors were also great shehnai players.
At the age of three when his mother took him to his maternal uncle's house in Banaras, Bismillah was fascinated watching his uncle practice the shehnai. The little child's reaction astonished his uncle who predicted that the boy would one day become a great player of the instrument.
Bismillah Khan was trained by his uncle, the late Ali Bux `Vilayatu’, a shehnai player attached to Varanasi’s Vishwanath Temple.
At an early age, he familiarized himself with various forms of the music of UP, such as Thumri, Chaiti, Kajri, Sawani etc. Later he studied Khayal music and mastered a large number of ragas. *At the age of 14 (1930), Bismillah accompanied his Ustad to the Allahabad Music Conference. This was his first opportunity to reproduce the composition of 'bandash' and his skill was greatly appreciated. At the end of his recital, the great Ustad Faiyaz Khan patted the young boy's back and said, "Work hard and you shall make it".
He brought the shehnai to the center stage of Indian music with his concert in the Calcutta All India Music Conference in 1937.
With the opening of the All India Radio in Lucknow in 1938 came Bismillah's big break. He soon became an often-heard Shehnai player on radio.
