The Institute for Preservation of Arts & Culture (IPAC) and Kuch Khaas brought you a unique folk musical experience from the heart of Punjab!
FEATURING ARTIST: Mustafa Lohar, student of Arif Lohar, has been performing at various folk melas, Sufi shrines and in theatre for the past 30 years. He belongs from Lahore and is known for his lively folk storytelling through his music.
FEATURING INSTRUMENTS: Chimta, Dhol, Jori, Harmonium and Dholak.
A traditional folk percussion instrument of South Asia, the Chimta, first came into the limelight with late folk musician Alam Lohar, who developed a new style of singing the Punjabi Vaar, an epic or folk tale as well as Sufi poetry. The ensuing popularity of this folk storytelling tradition is manifest in the vast popularity of his shagird (student), the larger-than-life Arif Lohar.
