This Daf has been preserved and passed on to him from his grandfather. He says this Daf has the honour of representing the culture of Chitral in all the TV programmes in which Khowar singers and other artists have so far performed. Dost Alam told ChitralToday that a number of people had approached him with lucrative offers to purchase the Daf but the preservation of the gift from his forefathers was very close to his heart, he said. Dost Alam is a nephew of Chitral’s famous Malang Yasawul of Mulkhow. He is also a good flute singer.—S.N. Peerzada]]>
