Her FB page shows she is 16 yrs. I think ppl should stop criticizing her thinking of how they behaved when they are at 16. Btw.. I can’t believe she is just 16. And reg. her performance she is still a beginner itseems. But in the video the simple dhol beats are well matched with the song. But remember, it is just with this song. I have watched her other videos too.

The first thing that I felt when I saw the video was sheer joy in listening to the dhol, being played with such ease and in sync with the original Rihanna song. btw. Rihanna, is someone my kids would listen to.

For me the dhol rendition to a Western song, first and foremost brought cultural pride. I have part Punajbi heritage as well. I was born after the partition of the sub-continent, but my parents and grandparents had relatives and close friends in what is today Bangladesh and Pakistan. As far as I have learnt, Punjabi's on either side of the border are culturally no different. The dhol exists in North Indian, especially Punjabi culture.

The dhol for me, while growing up always had an association of joy and celebration. So shared the link with my friends, and kids so they may also enjoy.

After reading Rani Taj's fb profile and also confirmed (above) by her mother Fardous Taj, I was further impressed that she was only 16 years old ... a girl playing an instrument, always I have seen being played by guys.

... so to Rani Taj : I very much enjoyed your sense of rhythm and confidence. You appear to enjoy playing the dhol ... I say all power to you, and continue having fun and doing what you do best.

YES, you are the one who is simple-minded and ignorant….I applaud Rani for her musical skills. She is a beautiful and talented girl…I couldn’t believe that she’s only 16! I know she will go far with her accomplishments!
