I watched this video of Begum Parveen Sultana. Several chordophones are played during this piece. The chordophones could be sitars, sarods, or surbahars, but I'm unsure as to which specific type of chordophone they are since the video does not show the entire instrument. An electric keyboard also seems to be in use, which may be the drone sound that I hear when I listen to this. Towards the end, a membraneophone is played for a short while. The chordophones and membraneonphones were played quietly as more of a background to Begum Parveen Sultana's singing. In this video, Begum Parveen Sultana sounds like she is reciting a religious chant, from which Hindustani Indian classical music is partially derived. I am unsure if she was saying words or just merely "making noise". Towards the end it sounds more like she is reciting words of some sort, but since I do not speak any Indian or similar language it is hard to distinguish anything. The main focus of the song is on Begum Parveen Sultana's voice, which is a major feature of Hindustani Indian classical music. Even the instruments seem to mimic or at least sound like her voice or another person's voice. Hindustani Indian classical music has three major influences: Hindu religion, Indian folk music, and also Persian cultures. I can hear some similiarites between Googoosh's singing and Begum Parveen Sultana's.
