It is also called Mattiyan, Jōrhi, Pāwā Jōrhī, Do Nālī, Donāl, Girāw, Satārā or Nagōze. It consists of two connected beaked flutes, one for melody, the second for drone. The flutes are either tied together or can be loosely held together with your hands. A continuous flow of air is required as the player is blowing into the two flutes at the same time.
The rapid recovery of breath with each beat creates a bouncing, swaying rhythm. The wooden instrument originally consisted of two flute pipes of equal length, but one of them was shortened over time for sound purposes. In the world of Alghoza playing, the two flute pipes are a pair - the longer one is the male instrument and the shorter one is the female instrument. With beeswax, the instrument can be scaled to any melody.
It is used in traditional and folk music of the Punjab. It has also become a popular choice in Punjabi "fusion" and Bhangra music. It is an important instrument in the folk music of Rajasthani and Baloch. However, the greatest representatives of Alghoza are the Sindhi musicians (late) Ustad Khamiso Khan, (late) Ustad Misri Khan Jamali and Akbar Khamiso Khan (Khamiso Khan's son). [4] Gurmeet Bawa is a notable Punjabi folk singer who uses the instrument. [5] [6]
