Abstract
Music plays a very significant role in the lives of Baloch. It is a mode of expression for them in various spheres and modes of life. From the birth of a child till death, their feelings and emotions are attired in songs and poems via music. Women have been the founders of Balochi music. The types of Balochi folk music such as SIPAT, LOLI, NAZENK, ZAHIREEG, HALO, and MOTK etc are actually the examples of art of Baloch women. Women have expressed their talent in every era and every genre of music, and have actually superseded men in this regard. We can easily understand psychological, social, and historical perspectives of Baloch society via songs sung by Baloch female singers. The role of women in Balochi music is not only prominent but also very significant which is a milestone. In order to understand Baloch society and Balochi music, one must go through the role played by Baloch female singers. It is a very good sign that Baloch women turned to Balochi music in spite of uncongenial circumstances.
