Punjab gharānā
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Punjab Gharana (sometimes called Punjabi or Panjabi Gharana), is a style and technique of tabla playing that originated in the Punjab region of what is now present day Pakistan. The style was said to have been founded by Saddu Hussain Bux, but this is somewhat debated[citation needed].
The distinctive features of Punjab Gharana are:
(1) using the middle finger to sound special notes, and
(2) the chilla ritual, which consists of continuous playing for forty days until the player reaches the divine state of becoming a true Ustad (master), of the tabla technique.
