DhinGin DhinDhage Tirkit Dhatigin

    "On a recent trip to London I got to hear a rare
    recording of the late Ustad Allah Ditta Khan of Punjab
    from Pakistan Radio. He was also taught by Miyan
    Kader Baksh (as was Allah Rakha ji Miyan Shaukat
    Hussain) and and played for many years with the great
    Raagiyas of Pakistan (he may have also accomapnied
    people in India).

    He played a beautiful short rela piece that I wanted to
    share with all. The Rela uses both open and closed
    sounds.

    It is:

    DhinGin DhinDhage Tirkit Dhatigin

    I've heard some say that DhinGin was not used in
    Punjab. Clearly from this example we see the
    contrary. In playing, the Ustad used to use the Bayan
    very beautifully by altering the place of emphasis." - Sajjad
