Music is universal. Music has no language, no religion, no borders. If at all it does have a language, it’s the language of the band of the seven notes which can transcend any and every wall that separates our emotions. Here are a few Pakistani bands and musicians you need to listen to to understand exactly that. Noori The Eddie Vedders of Pakistani! Their voices are distinctly similar to that of Eddie Vedder and have their own distinct style of singing. You can listen to them here.

Zeb & Haniya

These two girls broke all barriers for their love of singing and music and continue to amaze us with their ethereal songs.

Nawksh

The electro scene of Karachi is almost spearheaded by this band and has a radically different ideology to that that of the mood of the country.
