Trademark of quality music. If you walk towards Faisalabad’s historical Ghanta Ghar from Kotwali Road, you pass through the Aminpur Bazaar where vendors sell anything from fabrics to food. About a dozen yards before the monument, there used to be a shop that managed to be very famous yet nondescript at the same time: the Rehmat Gramophone House (RGH). Launched in 1949 by Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, an immigrant from Amritsar, it was known by music enthusiasts across the country. The RGH had a huge collection of gramophone records (called tawway in Punjabi) but that was not all: it was also a recording studio that became the launching pad for many vocalists that went on to become legends in classical and folk music, and qawwali — from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to Attaullah Esakhelvi, Mansoor Malangi to Allah Ditta Lonewala and Aziz Mian Qawwal, all of whom recorded their first audio cassettes here. Before them came other giants such as Alam Lohar, Fateh Ali Khan and Mubarak Ali Khan, who recorded on vinyl. Over a year ago, this leaf from history faded quietly away; it has been replaced by a curtain and fabric shop. The institution’s office, located in the street just behind Aminpur Bazaar, now houses a trading company. The RGH’s owners, the four sons of Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, went into other lines of work after being disheartened by the music business. Chaudhry Rehmat Ali passed away in 2005 but not before he had seen the dwindling business of his company, though it had reigned over the music scene for more than six decades. “We had realised in 2003 or ’04 that the future of the company was bleak,” says Haji Mohammad Javed, one of the brothers. “We ended music production in 2008 and the shop closed in 2015.
