An evening with Ustad Noor Bakhsh at YVML on October 9, 2024

Ustad Noor Bakhsh lives in a village called Sindhi Paso, in Pasni, Balochistan (Pakistan). He is a maestro of the Balochi Benju (a keyed Zither), which he has played since he was a child. Like his father, also a musician, he spent the early part of his life as nomadic shepherd, taking his livestock and following the rains, before settling down as a professional musician. Noor Bakhsh was well known as a legendary instrumentalist throughout the Makran coast, but garnered global attention after his recent videos and releases by honiunhoni in 2022.
