Khansahib Abdul Karim Khan was a classical singer of the Karina Gharana style from Northern India. He died back in 1937 before your grandparents were probably even born. These recordings were made some time in the 1930's, and reproduced for this record who-knows-when. My guess, due to the heavy weight of the high-density vinyl would be some time in the 50's or 60's.
Most of the music sounds kinda like a guy making Scooby Doo ghost voices over mellow sitar and tons of crackles and static. What can I say this thing is ancient, and not necessarily in the best shape. However, this music is very mellow and definitely has a spiritual quality to it. If you can tolerate the poor audio quality, this is a real interesting album.
