While remembering Ustad Sultan Khan's sweet Sarangi, my ears wandered like a maverick searching for many stringed instruments in Indian music and landed up on this ektara, if true, unbelievable. The writing on the artiste goes like this "Sain Marna was legendry Iktara player from central Punjab in Pakistan. He was a wandering sufi mystic mostly seen at truck stops on highways. He was discovered and introduced by Radio Pakistan in 1950's. Sain died around mid sixties while wandering in Punjab"
