Tribute to Rabab (the musical instrument)

[Psycho Pakistani]

Rabab is the most important musical instrument from Afghanistan, KPK, Balochistan, Gilgit Baltistan, and Kashmir valley.

This thread is dedicated to some best of Rabab music presentations.

Afghan/Pashtun variety of Rabab (they play the best in my view)

@Multani , Like multan, kashmir has also very strong tradition of sufism perhaps strongest in whole of south asia which was brought in there by darveshs that arrived from Iran and Kurdistan during Shahmiri dynasty.

I find Rabab the most peaceful musical instrument in the whole world, you can feel it. By the way Daud khan Sadozai is from Afghanistan not from AJK.

I find Rabab the most peaceful musical instrument in the whole world, you can feel it.

its like tears or dew falling from leaf petals or rain droplets falling over a water pond

you have to sit in front of the instrument and listen to it live

subhan Allah
