About Soulful Sundays: Mame Khan:
Mame Khan belongs to a family of master singers, who have been performing a unique, oral tradition for more then fifteen generations. His energy and his vocal skills owe much to the influence of his father and tutor, the late Shri Rana Khan.  
Mame Khan’s musical career started in a small, almost medieval village named Satto near Jaisalmer. The golden city of Jaisalmer and its surrounding villages are famed for its rich history of kings and poets, and is a place where Muslim and Hindu mystical traditions come together -timeless and beyond borders.  
Mame Khan is a name that finds special mention and great respect among the folk music circuits of Rajasthan. Today he sings a wide repertoire of traditional Folk and Sufi songs. 
The special style of the Manganiyar Folk Music called Jangra includes a universe of songs for all occasions in life. From traditional wedding songs to welcome songs for a new born child; specially the happy occasions of life are accompanied by the strong and colourful songs of the Manganiyar Musicians.
Also the songs from Sufi poets of Sindh and Rajasthan, including Mira Bai, Kabir, Lal Shahbâz Qalandar, Bulleh Shah and Baba Ghulam Farid are sung by Mame Khan with élan and joy.  
His Stage performances include the most illustrious national as well as international platforms. His voice has graced musical events and platforms in India and around the world from Europe to Africa from America to the Gulf Countries.  
Apart from his Indian Ensemble Mame Khan is the main voice of a French – Iranian fusion ensemble, called Badila. He is also the main voice of the famous Manganiyar Seduction by Roysten Able and he has loaned his voice to some of the most popular Bollywood movie such as No one Killed Jessica, Luck By Chance and I am.  
Most recently he performed for Amit Trivedi's episode on Coke Studio @ MTV.
