Biography

Ustad Liaqat Ali Khan performs on the sarangi in the Sikar style, a tradition associated with a robust and vocal approach to the instrument. His technique relies on controlled hand and arm movement, allowing him to shape phrases in a manner close to Hindustani vocal expression. This approach is used both in classical raga performance and in applied music contexts.

He served as a staff artist at All India Radio, Mumbai, and has contributed to film music for mainstream Hindi cinema. His work bridges classical performance and studio-based recording for popular media.

In classical settings, he appears as both a soloist and an accompanist. His documented performances include concert appearances in India and the United Kingdom, as well as private and institutional recitals captured in archival recordings. These presentations include ragas such as Jhinjhoti, Bihag, Rageshri, Pahadi, and Saraswati, reflecting his engagement with the traditional Hindustani repertoire.
