The Hyderabadi Nohakars, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

The Hyderabadi Nohakar are very unique , they have their own predominant nasal, rendition of the Noha not be found anywhere else in India.
It has its base in classical musical ancestry, though Shias consider music to be Haram like the rest of the Muslim world.

Nohakars like late Sacchey and Zia too rendered the Nohas in a classical way..

Nohas are elegy recited describing the events of Karbala around the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain.
