Kolkata, June 24 (NITN): Jyotishman Nath, aged 10 years, is a child prodigy as he recently enthralled the audience playing at the Arcosanti Amphitheater with an instrument called "Rubab".
The musical instrument originates from Central Afghanistan and mainly played by Pashtun, Tajik, Turkish, Baluch, Azerbaijani, Iranian Kurdish and it is closer to Kashmiri classical musicians.
Rubab is one of the national musical instruments of Afghanistan.
It has proliferated throughout West, Central, South and Southeast Asia.
