Sikh music, also known as Gurbani Sangeet (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਸੰਗੀਤ, romanized: Gurabāṇī sagīta; meaning music of the speech of wisdom), and as Gurmat Sangeet (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਸੰਗੀਤ, romanized: Guramati sagīta; meaning music of the counsel or tenets of the Guru), or even as Shabad Kirtan (Gurmukhi: ਸ਼ਬਦ ਕੀਰਤਨ, romanized: Śabada kīratana), is the classical music style that is practised within Sikhism.[1] It exists in institutional, popular, and folk traditions, forms, and varieties.[2][3] Three types of Sikh musicians are rababis, ragis, and dhadhis.[1] Sikh music exists in various melodic modes, musical forms, styles, musicians, and performance contexts.[1]
