'''Ustad Tanrus Khan''' ( &ndash; died 1885 or 1890) was a founder of the [[Hindustani classical music]] tradition of [[Delhi gharānā (tabla)|Delhi gharānā]] (House of Delhi classical musicians).<ref name=GoogleBooks>[https://books.google.com/books?id=X54Lf-8M96YC&pg=PA157#v=onepage&q&f=false Tanrus Khan - founder of the original Delhi gharana on 'The Life of Music in North India: The Organisation of an Artistic Tradition' by Daniel M. Neuman on GoogleBooks website], Retrieved 18 April 2017</ref><ref>[http://www.culturalindia.net/indian-music/hindustani-gharanas.html Tanrus Khan and Delhi gharana on culturalindia.net website], Retrieved 18 April 2017</ref> He was a court musician and music teacher to the last [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] emperor [[Bahadur Shah Zafar II]].<ref name=GoogleBooks/><br />
<br />
==Early life and career==<br />
"Meer Qutub Baksh alias 'Tanrus Khan' was an iconic Khayal singer of the 19th century."<ref name=swarganga>[https://www.swarganga.org/artist_details.php?id=839 Profile of Tanrus Khan on SwarGanga Music Foundation website], Retrieved 18 April 2017</ref><br />
"Since Delhi has been, off and on, the capital and the cultural center of the North Indian musical tradition, many families originally came from Delhi."<ref name=GoogleBooks/> "Tanrus Khan was famous for his swift, sparkling [[Taan (music)|Taans]] and so this title 'Tanrus' (one who has charming Taan) was given to him by [[Bahadur Shah Zafar II]], the last Mughal emperor."<ref name=swarganga/><br />
<br />
Occasionally Tanrus Khan sang [[qawwali]]s also. So he is also said to be a member of the 'Qawwal Bachchon Ka Delhi Gharana' originally organized by the legendary 13th century musician [[Amir Khusrow]]. Many Khayals and Taranas of Hindustani classical music were composed by Tanrus Khan.<ref name=swarganga/><br />
Tanrus Khan was attached to Delhi court but after the [[Mutiny of 1857]], he left Delhi and went to [[Gwalior]] but felt that he was not much appreciated there. So he went to [[Nizam of Hyderabad]]'s court and worked there and finally died in Hyderabad in 1885.<ref name=swarganga/><br />
