Farida Khanum
Farida Khanum is a renowned ghazal singer. She has been called as "Malika-e-Ghazal" (Queen of Ghazal) by her fans across the globe. She started to train in classical music from an early age of seven and later learnt classical music from Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan. Post the creation of Pakistan in 1947, Farida Khanum gave her first public concert in 1950 and then joined Radio Pakistan where she courted fame and fortune. She became a star when Pakistan's president Ayub Khan invited her to a public recital in the 1960s. She has a large fan following in India and Pakistan and has performed solo concerts across the globe. In 2005, she was awarded the Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Pakistan's highest civilian honour for her cultural contributions. She currently resides in Lahore and sings for a select audience occasionally.
