Ustad Noor Bakhsh
Pakistan
MUSICIAN/COMPOSER
Ustad Noor Bakhsh, from Balochistan, Pakistan, is a legendary maestro of the Balochi Benju (a keyed Zither). Noor Baksh’s electric Benju tone and his melodic ornamentations may remind you of Ali Farka Toure’s style, with polyrhythmic grooves and improvisation that will make you move in very similar ways to the music of both West and East Africa.
