The invention of the jori, “couple,” is attributed in Sikh lore to the 5th Guru Arjan (1563-1609). Its predecessor in Sikh devotional practice was the  pakhawaj, the pre-eminent barrel drum of the Indo-Persian courts and of contemporary dhrupad music.
During Arjan’s time, the jori became a specialty of practitioners of gurbani kirtan in the city of Amritsar, which by 1604 had become the capital of Sikh devotionalism.
According to Bhai Baldeep Singh’s research, the distinctive sound of the jori became associated with the city and became known as the Amritsari baaj, the musical style of Amritsar.
This style has now been all but forgotten and his project is to revive its structures, instruments and sounds.
