'''[[Ram Narayan]]''' (born 1927) is an [[India]]n musician who popularized the bowed instrument ''[[sarangi]]'' as a solo concert instrument in [[Hindustani classical music]] and became the first internationally successful ''sarangi'' player. Narayan was born in [[Udaipur]] and learned to play the ''sarangi'' at an early age. He studied under ''sarangi'' players and singers and, as a teenager, worked as a music teacher and traveling musician. [[All India Radio]], [[Lahore]], hired Narayan as an accompanist for vocalists in 1944. He moved to [[Delhi]] following the [[partition of India]] in 1947, but wishing to go beyond accompaniment and frustrated with his supporting role, Narayan moved to [[Mumbai]] in 1949 to work in [[Cinema of India|Indian cinema]]. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1954, Narayan became a concert solo artist in 1956, and later gave up accompaniment. He recorded solo albums and began to tour America and Europe in the 1960s. Narayan taught Indian and foreign students and performed, frequently outside of India, into the 2000s. He was awarded India's second highest civilian honor, the [[Padma Vibhushan]], in 2005.
