The rather isolated province of Kalch lies just to the south of Pakistan on the west coast of India. It has given its name to a form of song called Katchi Kafl , which is unique in having a shawm in addition to the usual accompaniment. In this programme John Levy introduces recordings he has made in Katch, including an example of Naubat drumming.
