Pakistani music is vast, old, and gloriously multilingual. If you don't know where to step in, here is a door.
The song everyone knows
Start with ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ by Vital Signs — a 1987 pop song that quietly became the country's second national anthem. It's the centre of our Jashn-e-Azadi collection.
The queen of Sufi song
Then meet Abida Parveen, whose voice can fill a stadium and still sound like a private prayer. Try ‘Tu Jhoom’ or ‘Chaap Tilak’.
Follow the language
Pakistan sings in many tongues. Once you've found your footing, wander by language — Sindhi, Pashto, Saraiki, Balochi — or browse the full directory of artists. Everything on Patari is free.
