Balochi music is the musical traditions of the Baloch people and music in the Balochi language.[1] The Baloch people have a rich oral tradition that includes poems and songs to celebrate or commemorate many events such as religious rites, festivals, or holidays and dance.[2][3]
Types of Baloch songs include Balochi praise songs (sipatt and nazenk), love songs (dastanag), elegies (Mōtk or Mowtk.), lullabies (lilo), wedding and circumcision songs (halo and lado), songs of separation (zahirok, liko), epics (sher), fishermen’s songs (amba and lewa), healing songs ( gwati, sheki, sheparja, and malid, Zar), and Zikri ritual songs.[3][4]
As with spoken language, Baloch music varies from region to region.[5]
Balochi music has been very popular in Iran, Oman and Pakistan.
