Gonga Sain – the Deaf Drummer from Pakistan



Filed under : Travel Tips


this video was filmed in Spring 2007 in Lahore, Pakistan About this video: As a little child Gonga Sain had a strong infection in his ear and became a deaf. Yet, today he is one of the best Dhol players in Pakistan and has played all over the world also in Europe. Sufis use music to connect with their god Allah. I was suprised when I came to Pakistan. I also had this stereotype in may mind: Islam, music and dance that does not fit together. Pakistan has tought me different. When I think of Pakistan today the first thing I tink of is music! Pakistan is a great place for traveling. Travel Tip: If you go to Shah Jamal for the sufi celebration talk to Gonga's little broter Mithu Sain. He speaks English very well and is a very friendly and helpful person. Ask him about sufism, I am sure he will be just to happy to give you a little introducion. And if you do so, say hello from Mina Bibi (that's the name Gonga's little daughter Kainath gave me) dedicated to Gonga Sain (Pakistan, 2007)

    KidDynamit: Gonga became deaf when he was very little. Therefore he also never learned to speak…

  8. KidDynamite123 says:

    just thought i’d say that ‘gonga’ is when one cannot speak…’behra’ means deaf…therefore, i would assume that maybe this drummer could hear but not speak???
