Fida Hussain Khan
Ustad Fida Hussain Khan (1883–1948) was a Rampur-Sahaswan gharana khyal vocalist who served as court musician to the Baroda durbar for roughly two decades. Trained by his father, Haider Khan, he passed the gharana's khyal style on to his own son, Nisar Hussain Khan, and to outside disciples including Ghulam Mustafa Khan.
