'''Rampur-Sahaswan gharana''' is a [[gharana]] (musical heritage) of [[Hindustani classical music]] centred in the North-[[Uttar Pradesh]] towns of [[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh|Rampur]] and [[Sahaswan]]. Ustad [[Inayat Hussain Khan]] (1849–1919) was the founder of this gharana.

[[Inayat Khan]] was a child prodigy, and his first married the daughter of [[Haddu Khan]] of the [[Gwalior gharana]].
 
==Singing style==
The Rampur-Sahaswan gayaki (style of singing) is closely related to the [[Gwalior Gharana]], which features medium-slow tempos, a full-throated voice and intricate rhythmic play. The gharana style is also known for the diversity and intricacy of the [[taan (music)|taan]]s (rapidfire elaborations), as well as [[tarana]] singing.
 
Renowned singers of this gharana include the first and, perhaps the foremost disciple of [[Inayat Hussain Khan]], [[Hyder Khan]]. Hyder Khan and his family plays a vital role in upbringing the legacy of this illustrious family. His son [[Fida Hussain Khan]] and his grandson [[Nissar Hussain Khan]] continued the tradition.
 
Nissar Hussain Khan was a great teacher whose disciples include vocalists [[Ghulam Mustafa Khan (singer)|Ghulam Mustafa Khan]], [[Rashid Khan]], [[Hafeez Ahmed Khan]] and [[Sarfaraz Hussain Khan]]. [[Mushtaq Hussain Khan]] was a disciple of Hyder Khan and was later groomed by Inayat Hussain Khan. He was the recipient of the first [[Padma Bhushan]] award in singing.
 
The gharana is represented by two interrelated families - the direct descendants of Inayat Hussain Khan and his other relatives and disciples.
