The general impression in Sind in the field of music was that the singers could only sing couplets and lyrical compositions (Baits & Kaafees) in rhyme. But a genius like Shah Abdul Latif, one of the three main pillars of Sindhi poetry alongwith Sachal and Sami, proved cynics wrong with his compositions based on virtually every major raag that music had to offer.

sThe power of poetry set to tune in pure classical melodies redefined the annals of Sindhi music and became a trend for music lovers to come. Based on popular raags like bhairavi, yaman, kalyan, ramkali, etc. Shah Abdul gave classical music his own contributions like raag samundi, husseini, raano, suhini, maruee, etc.

These achievements hold good in their own light because the climatic conditions in Sind were not conducive to classical singers given the extreme conditions of heat and cold. Voices like delicate plants have to be nurtured which require an ideal atmosphere. But these conditions notwithstanding, the singers of Sind overcame these hurdles through stringent and dedicated practice. In fact the music of Sind is more soulful and contains a major influence of sorrow and romance as compared to other dialects. Bhagat Kanwarram and Master Chander are two best examples of this particular point of reasoning as they were the masters of the art of soulful singing.
