Alongside the voice.
The rabab belongs to the story of Sikh kirtan through Bhai Mardana’s accompaniment to Guru Nanak. The Janamsakhi narratives also remember Firanda, the carpenter and musician from whom Mardana sought an instrument. This Punjabi model offers a way into that musical tradition. It is a contemporary instrument, rather than a claim to be an original historical rabab.
