About this video
Dubha (Torwali duet) is one of the popular genre of Torwali music. <br />Torwali is an endangered language spoken by over 100,000 people in the idyllic valley Swat-Kohistan in the Swat district of Pakistan. Torwali community is said to be the pre-Muslim era community living in Swat. It is of the Darada communities of Swat of ancient times. <br />Like every indigenous language Torwali is threatened of extinction. Not only the language but its culture is also under serious threats posed by globalization and the so called modernity. <br />A local organization Idara Baraye Taleem-o-Taraqi (IBT) or Institute for Education & Development (ibtswat.org) has long since undertaken the preservation, documentation and promotion of the Torwali language and culture. <br />This video song is from a collection of Torwali melodies named "Manjoora"--(gift in Torwali). <br />It is a project of IBT financially supported by the USAID under its Small Grants and Ambassador Fund Program. <br />It is an endeavor to rejuvenate the endangered Torwali music.
