The almost 80-year-old traditional musician hailing from Pakistan’s remote Balochistan region plays an unusual instrument with keys the locals call a "Benju", originally a musical toy from Japan called taishōgoto that had been brought to Pakistan by sailors. His first album "Jingul“ is currently receiving rave reviews everywhere. It initially came out digitally on the new Pakistani imprint honiunhoni in 2022 and was reissued on vinyl in September 2023 by Hive Mind Records in the UK.

The first European tour of Noor Bakhsh and his musical sidekick, Doshambay, was a breathtaking success, playing Roskilde and other major festivals - a total of 25 shows, with short TikTok snippet videos of the concerts going viral immediately after the events (125 k views and more).
The pair sent audiences into wild dancing frenzies, a perspective rather unusual for a performance played on two string instruments
