Oldest recorded Indian Music dates back to 1902, when India’s first disc had been recorded one of the following singers singing a khayal in Raag Jogiya. Identify the singer:

  • A.Abdul Wahid Khan
  • B.Govindrao Tembe
  • C.Gauhar Jan
  • D.Abdul Karim Khan

Answer: C

It was Gauhar Jan.

The Gramophone Company recorded her at Calcutta in November 1902, the first Indian recording. She ended each side by announcing 'My name is Gauhar Jan', so that the engineers in Hanover would know whose voice it was.
