Description

The "surnaiya langa" are a hereditary musician community, they and their patrons mostly live in the westernmost area of Rajasthan, in the districts of Barmer and Jaisalmer. They enjoy a very close relationship with their patrons, and some of them are said to originally have belonged to the patron community.

The surnaiya langas play only the wind instruments, including the surnai from which they take their name. They play the murli and the double flute which is variously called algoza, satara or pawa. This album is a compilation of compositions played by surnaiya langa Karim Khan.
