[afghan]

nicely played, wonder who is playing the sitar?

[Tjanaparh]

I would also like to know it!
It is a really nice made clip, I didn't even expect it when i searched for Pashto and Chitrali Sitar.
By the way can anybody tell more about this instrument and where to get it?

Dear DZJ I like a lot Ravi Shankar and generally Indian music - but this Chitrali and Pashto sitar(I suppose it is the same instrument), is completely different to the indian one! Only the nme is the same! I think it even doesn't have sympathetic strings!

Chitralis are famous for their traditional music It's beautiful!

Indeed, Chitrali/pashtun one seems to be a lot more Iranid/West asian and even eastern european influenced, Perhaps there is a linkage between all these areas since ancient times

You are right Karachi, the Chitrali/Pashtun sitar resembles a lot in form the Dutar, Tanbur and Setar used in Iran, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and even i Caucasus.

I suppose it has also to do with thecase that Indian instruments are different from the others - bacause the Indians use gourds for instrument bodies, while from the Balkans till the Himalaya wood is used

@Resistance, I agree...a lot of talent in the midst of the chaos and troubles.
@Arevapasht sh'norhakal em eġbayr (did I get it right lol?). Pashto sitar is amazing, makes me want to just go back home and relax to the music in the mountains of my land.
