Bhai Baldeep Singh (BBS) revived the percussion instrument Joṛī — freeing in the process its name that had become synonymous with Tablā — its playing style, unique repertoire & the oldest school of South Asia, the Sultanpur Lodhi-Amritsarī Bāj. His impact, for reintroducing concepts, on the field of percussion is without parallel as articulated by Philosophy-Aesthetics professor, S. K. Saxena, such as “resilience” and “intent-ful waywardness”. The original style he has duly revived is now zealously followed, copied, even plagiarised around the world. BBS coined the names, joṛī-mridañg and joṛī-pakhāvaj to help recover its unique status as the “complete percussion instrument for all three forms namely, sāth, jatt and gatt are played on it…” (Bhai Arjan Singh Tarangaṛ in 1992.) Joṛī is now in vogue!
