Pakistani pop industry is the biggest music industry in the whole world. So, I just want to ask that have you heard any Pakistani singer?

Such music is not widely available, I would wager that none is available in shops where I live but then there would be little call for it as we hve very few Pakistani nationals.

Like many people I do not download music on my computer.

Here in Canada, we hear some Pakistani music, but are more likely to hear music made by Canadians with ethnic roots in the Indidan subcontinent. There is some very exciting music being made, a sort of 'fusion' of traditional sounds, mingled with Wesstern and other Asian influences. A group such as Punjabi by Nature is great fun, their music is decribed on one of their websites - "They mix bhangra with reggae with dance with industrial music".

Maybe a booming industry but not the biggest. I've heard the late geat world music star Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and have heard of the band, Junoon, but that's about it (aside from some psych/garage music on a compilation from that region). So much piracy in the Pakistan music market and a major lack of copyright control.

You know about 10 more singers are added to Pakistani pop music industry how ever all of them dont set a boom and they are returned to their homes. But if you want to listen Pakistani music then download it from the following site:-

Edited to remove link to commercial site.
