They have performed in more than 200 venues in thirty countries. The Langas and Manganiars are Muslim musicians who have traditionally performed for both Hindu and Muslim patrons. Many of their songs are in praise of Hindu deities and celebrate Hindu festivals such as Diwali and Holi. They also sing the the poetry of South Asias great Sufi poets. At one time, the Managaniars were musicians of the Rajput courts. The Langas (literally song givers) are poets, singers, and instrumentalists from the Barmer district of Rajasthan who seem to have converted from Hinduism to Islam in the seventeenth century. They are versatile players of the Sindhi Sarangi and the Algoza (double flute), which accompany and echo their formidable voices. The Sindhi Sarangi is made up of four main wires, with more than twenty vibrating sympathetic strings which help to create its distinctive haunting tones. Another remarkable bowed instrument is the kamayacha of the Manganiars with its big, circular resonator, giving out a deep, booming sound. The music of Rajasthan is driven by pulsating rhythms created by an array of percussion instruments, the most popular being the dholak, a double headed barrel drum, whose repertoire has influenced other Indian drums including the tabla. Other instruments include the double flute, satara, and the hypnotic Jews harp or morchang.
