I first met Momin Khan in 1997 when I visited and filmed his father Moinuddin Khan in Jaipur in connection with my research on sarangi style. Now he has blossomed into a formidably eccentric sarangi player.

Now listen to "Sarangi to Heaven":

Finally an Arajit Singh show oat the Dubai Coka Cola Arena:
