Ustad Lal Chand Yamla Jatt, the pioneer artist of the Indian Music industry is regarded as the most respected artists in Indian Music history. Yamla Jatt is simply a folklore in itself, classic and amazing! He only sang folk songs and boy did he ever go in depth with his unique sound and voice. During Ustad Lal Chand Yamla Jatt's singing career, the Tumbi was not regarded as an instrument. A tumbi is made of wood stick mounted with a wooden resonator covered with skin. A thin, metallic string is passed on a resonator over a bridge/wedge, and tied to the turning key at the end of the stick. The string is struck with the continuous flick and retraction of the forefinger of either hand.
Lal Chand went against the naysayers and proved many people wrong by adopting the Tumbi in every song he sang. This is the only piece of music he sang with, and went onto pioneer the Tumbi as an essential instrument in the Indian Music industry. His songs and voice are unique and today's gernation in Indian Music industry pay homage to the great legend Yamla Jatt.
