 Toronto Gharana
harana is used in Hindi and Urdu to refer to the core component in the organizational structure of North Indian (or Hindustani) music and dance, in other words a family of hereditary occupational specialists.
Traditionally the gharana is headed by an authoritative musician-teacher called the Khalifa, and comprises members related by blood and/or musical knowledge (talim).
The use of "Gharana" with Toronto reflects a non-traditional and somewhat playful allusion to the original meaning, and we think it hints at the possible shape of things to come in the continual evolution of Hindustani music outside India.
