The Thar Desert of Rajasthan, a north western state of India, holds many secrets in her heart. Sufi Music is one of the most wonderful of the art forms that originated there. The Manganiar and related Langa communities are a few of the most talented and note-worthy artists of this art form. They are Muslim communities who have a most unique style that can dazzle you. Large families of singers, dancers and musicians travel the desert and sing heart wrenching songs of love, worship and praise. The culture of Hindus and Muslims is interwoven beautifully and their innocent performances move you. The drama of the desert unfolds in each note, making this unique music very popular among youth of India and across the border in Pakistan.

One of the renowned artist is Sri Jamil Khan.
