Surando

The Surando is an ancient traditional Sindhi musical instrument.[1][2] It is played by musicians in Sindh, Kutch, Rajasthan, and Balochistan.[3][4][5] The term "Surando" is derived from the Persian word "Surayindah," meaning "producer of tunes."[2]

In the literature

In the Sindhi folktale Sorath Rai Diyach, by Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, Bijal is a charan who plays the Surando. The king, Rai Diyach, is so impressed by the music that he agrees to Bijal's request for his head as a sacrifice in honour of the Surando music.[6]
