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actually superseded men in this regard.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.
