The Hindu
A video on Sarangi, a string instrument, which is now at risk of fading from Pakistan’s music scene.
The sarangi is no ordinary string instrument. Exponents say it is one instrument that is closest to the human voice when played. The origins of the sarangi date back to the Mughal era, when it was the preferred accompanying instrument for many artists in the Indian subcontinent.
