It includes spiritual songs, the madah, a religious performance in the form of sung praise of Sufi poetry that often lasts for hours, and bazmi, folk songs based on oral traditions. Characteristic of Badakhshan music is the use of a unique scale and diverse rhythms (Benze, Rastau, Rahpai, Petrajag). Songs like Spek Bazai, Bapirak Bazai, Chamcha Dance, Dergilak, Flak-Khani, Lehlik, Madah-Khani, Shah Mubarak and Ser Tarashan are typical of the region. The vocals are characterized by a clear, smoky and nasal-sounding tone, which plays an important role in genres such as the Falak Sober dirges, which can be performed either a cappella with free rhythms or with instruments in a regular beat. Traditional instruments in Badakhshan music include the Ghijak pointed violin, the Daf frame drum, the Ney end flute, and local variations of the rubab and tanbur."
