Ustad Mohammad Omar - Bhopali

Dedicated to the memory of Tawfiq, of oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.com/ whose love of music and profound generosity offered us and many others endless hours of marvel.
Majestic shakl and naghma jhaptal (10 beats) in raag Bhopali played on the rubab by Ustad Mohammad Omar. It is the same naghma played with Zakir Hussain during the 1974 concert in Washington (Album "Virtuoso from Afghanistan"). From the archives of the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) in Cologne, Germany, originally shared by Tawfiq on his blog.
