Sarangi players preserve the decaying art in Pakistan

In the historic city of Lahore, Here, we witness a beautiful and unforgettable marriage of the Turkic Persian and the ancient Indian cultures in the Mughal Era. Right in the heart of the city in Gawalmandi, awaits the wailing sound of probably one of the most neglected stories of the music of the land.
Zohaib Hassan is the leading name among the handful of Sarangi players left in Pakistan..
He aims to preserve the decaying art of sarangi playing with a rare technique that employs four fingers as opposed to the more common three fingers approach. A music lineage tracing back to 7th generations of sarangi players and decades of practice has enabled him to master the art .
