A Ragi (Punjabi: ਰਾਗੀ; rāgī) is a Sikh musician who plays hymns (shabads) in different ragas as prescribed in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Arjan Dev, the 5th Guru of the Sikhs, started the ragi tradition of amateur musicians, as he didn't want the Sikhs to depend on professionals for their connection to the divine with sacred music. Ragis now are often professional and have much knowledge of the scriptures. Thus, they are highly respected. However, they are not a privileged elite as some today see them -- rather, the ragi tradition was meant to bring musical experience of the Sikh scriptures to a layperson, without a middleman (or woman).

| - Un ragi est un terme utilisé dans le sikhisme pour désigner un musicien qui chante et joue des hymnes dans un temple, un gurdwara, lors des offices de prières, les kirtans. Le terme kirtani peut être utilisé pour ces musiciens. Le mot ragi est de la même racine que râga, la musique tant jouée sur le sous-continent indien. Les musiciens qui jouent ces hymnes sont aussi dénommés dhadis pour ceux qui jouent du tambour, et, rababi pour les joueurs de rebec. La musique dans les temples sikhs étaient chère aux yeux du troisième Guru du sikhisme, Guru Amar Das. Les hymnes qui peuvent être pris comme des leçons moralistes ou pour méditer la sagesse divine sont toujours joués en présence du Livre saint: le Guru Granth Sahib. (fr)

| - A Ragi (Punjabi: ਰਾਗੀ; rāgī) is a Sikh musician who plays hymns (shabads) in different ragas as prescribed in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Arjan Dev, the 5th Guru of the Sikhs, started the ragi tradition of amateur musicians, as he didn't want the Sikhs to depend on professionals for their connection to the divine with sacred music. Ragis now are often professional and have much knowledge of the scriptures. Thus, they are highly respected. However, they are not a privileged elite as some today see them -- rather, the ragi tradition was meant to bring musical experience of the Sikh scriptures to a layperson, without a middleman (or woman). Today, the ragi tradition is slightly different than in the Guru's time. Music is often not sung in the correct raag and often does not use the Guru's instruments but rather relies heavily on the harmonium, brought by the British colonizers. The lines of the shabads before the are not emphasized as they are prescribed either. Today also there are no female ragis allowed in Sri Harimandir Sahib, the most important temple for Sikhs, which goes against the Sikh principle of gender equality. Now, some efforts are being made to revive Gurmat Sangeet, kirtan the way the Gurus prescribed it. (en)
