Well known in Herat as an enthusiastic performer and a generous patron of other musicians, as well as for his broadcasts on Radio Afghanistan, Herawi is now considered "Master of the Afghan Lutes". His playing of the dutar and rabab (a short-necked, double-chambered plucked lute and Herawi's second instrument) is very typical of the Herat style although Herawi plays the folk melodies of several distinct cultures from many regions of Afghanistan. The pieces have the varied rhythms of the Hindustani raga forms, but are much shorter and intense, in the Afghan folk music tradition. Herawi often builds up to very fast tempos, and employs a wide range of dynamics. 7/8 Music
