Suhail Yusuf Khan (Hindi: सुहेल युसूफ खान; born 1988) is an Indian sarangi player and vocalist.[1][2] He is the grandson of Sarangi maestro Ustad Sabri Khan (1927-2015).[3]
In 2016, Khan released Everything Sacred, a collaborative folk album with James Yorkston and Jon Thorne under the name Yorkston/Thorne/Khan.[4] The trio went on to release two further albums, Neuk Wight Delhi All-Stars (2017)[5] and Navarasa: Nine Emotions (2020).[6]
