The Gharana has produced famous Ustads like the late Ustad Tanras Khan, court musician and tutor in classical music of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal Emperor. The Saami Brothers belongs to the best known Gharana of classical music, the Dilli Gharana.

The Saami Brothers started their training in their early years, training in classical music under the rigorous and critical tutelage by their three mentors: the late Ustad Munshi Raziuddin Khan, the late Ustad Nizamuudin Saami and Ustad Naseeruddin Saami.

The Saami Brothers have accomplished mastery over various genres of classical music, such as Dhrupad, Khayal, Tarana, Thumria and Dadra which they blend beautifully during their qawwali performances worldwide.
