Articles on music
- Pir Roshan and musicBayazid Ansari (Pir Roshan, born at Jalandhar in 1525 to a Kaniguram family) founded the Roshaniyya movement and wrote Khair al-Bayan, the oldest surviving Pashto work; the Halnama credits his circle with new rabab tunes and new forms of Pashto verse.
- The rabab, the attan and Pashtun musicPashtun music, tang takor (ټنګ ټکور) in Pashto, is built around the rabab (رباب), a lute carved from one piece of mulberry wood, and sung forms such as the tappa. Its best-known dance is the attan (اتڼ), and UNESCO listed the rabab in 2024.
