Musica In Pakistan Gruppo musicale & Musicista Lista

The Music of Pakistan includes South Asian, Central Asian, Middle Eastern and contemporary Western influences. The genre has adapted and evolved over time in response to shifting cultural norms and global influences.

It has been shaped by Persian, Arab and Turkish traditions among others. Hindustani classical music forms like qawwali (Sufi devotional music) and ghazal (love poetry) are popular, as are Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi and Balochi regional music. Islamization policies during the 1980s imposed strict censorship on music and musical expression. In the late 20th-century and beyond, globalization significantly influenced Pakistani music, with elements of Western popular music merging with local traditions to create contemporary genres.

As of 2015, EMI Pakistan is the country's biggest record label, holding the licenses of some 60,000 Pakistani artists and around 70% of the total music of the country, while streaming service Patari has the largest independent digital collection, with some 3,000 artists and 50,000 songs.
