Musarat Nazir wonderful folk song

Others may agree or disagree but the fact is that the Punjabi culture and language is closer to Sindhi culture and language. Physically we share the same land from centuries and have similar culture. Of course present Sindh, Punjab and almost whatever is called Pakistan now, was referred to as Indus civilization historically. Political rifts after creation of Pakistan have made us differentiate each other, probably this is one of the thing we have after partition.
Well here is wonderful folk song from Musarat Nazir, listen to the language and you should easily follow it, whether you know Punjabi or not.

[I am not sure but I guess Turks are the biggest ethnic group and tribe in the world. From Uyghurs in China (Eastern Turkistan occupied/aministrated by China) to Bulgars in Balkans (Eastern Europe) they are spread all over as Turk rule was from China to Europe. They speak and write same language with different dialects and scripts. Tataris are also Turkish including all people in Central Asia. Central Asia was the center of the world not long ago, even today the buildings of universities and schools of international repute in Samarkand and Bukhara are living examples of the past glory.

I was amazed to see in movie, Qublai Khan grand son of Changez Khan, addressing to Marcopolo (Italian travelogue writer) as “Barbarian”. Marcopolo risked his life and traveled to Central Asia just to see the magnificent empire and development there as Europe was in Dark ages. This was not too long ago.

Turkish Music also has different flavours, but base language and culture is same. You will see similar dance and music through out. I found most of the Turkish music from Turkey kind of sadistic and their voice is heavy, but it appeals Turks of course. Turkish music in other parts of Central Asia and Europe is kind of mix – Munawar Ali].

Albania used to be only muslim country in Europe, now we have Kosovo(ethnic Albanians) and Bosnia. Whole of Eastern Europe was under Turkish rule. What I have seen is that if a nation is not so advanced in science and technology they normally are very advanced in culture and language. This is true of Albanians, Sindhis and Arabs for example. They have produced very popular singers, musicians and artists. Albanian music is very popular in Eastern Europe and here is videos with great voice and nice music. You will clearly see Turkish influence there and will enjoy:

Turkish (Sindhi) folk music

Turk people also came to Sindh and merged into Sindhi society afterwards, Turk surname in Sindh is the prominent example;) This is piece of Turkish music which you will find very similar to Sindhi folk music. I am almost sure that we inherited this music from Turks. Also if you look at the male dancers you will find that some of those style are still found in sindhie folk dance. – Munawar Ali
