Ustad Salamat Hussain

Ustad Salamat Hussain, born in 1937 in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, is celebrated as Pakistan’s senior-most flute virtuoso, specializing in the bansuri (bamboo flute). His musical journey began under his uncle’s guidance, and over a career spanning nearly half a century, he’s captivated audiences globally with his mastery of classical ragas and instrumental adaptations, including renditions of Indian film hits. Recent releases like *Raag Yaman Alaap On Flute* and *Raga Shudh Sarang Flute* showcase his ability to blend traditional depth with accessible melodies, maintaining his legacy as a cornerstone of South Asian flute artistry. Friendly yet profoundly skilled, his work bridges generations, offering everything from meditative alaaps to lively jugalbandi performances.
