Do Bālā va Karīm Khānī

Bālā (the top or higher part of the neck) refers to the lower register. There are some who believe that this air can also serve as the backdrop for a dance in which the arms are extended like two (do) wings (bāl). The origin of the ensuing melody, Karīm Khānī (the air of Karīm Khān), is unknown.
