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
[edit]One of the Sindhi folktales of Sindh written by Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai is Sorath Rai Diyach. In this tale, Bijal, a charan, plays the Surando, and 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]
