Zahirok

Zahīrōk (Balochi:زهیروک) is one of the musical forms of Balochistan and the Baloch people, especially in southern Balochistan region of Makran. The genre expresses deep feeling and strong emotions about separation.

In the beginning, Zahirok was only sung by two groups of Baloch women.

Some Balochs often believe that zahırok is the basis of all Balochi music and the essence of the melodies used in singing Balochi narrative song.

Zahırok is one of the most important and well-known Balochi song genres, often described as the “Balochi classical music” by the Baloch themselves.
