Pakistani Music can be classfied into six general sets: classical, semi-classical/ghazal, folk, qawwali/devotional, film, pop/rock. These categories might be related considerably, that''s why many Pakistani Artists are able to perform in more than one of the listed Pakistani Music Genres
When we say music, most of the people think at the great musicians from the eastern world. But what about the western music, I say? What about the Indian Music or the Pakistani music? I have noticed that only few people know some general information on Pakistani music. Well, this article is meant to change all that.

Artists such as Nazia Hasan and the Vital Signs (pop band) were pioneers of Pakistani pop music in the 1980''s. Pakistan Pop and Rock Music Industry has also begun to make a mark on the Global Music scene. The Pakistani band Junoon popularised a genre of music called Sufi rock.

Their music blended traditional Pakistani folk and Sufi music with western rock. Bands like Strings, Jal, Fuzon , Mekaal Hassan Band, Atif Aslam and Noori have millions of fans across the border in India, and other parts of South Asia and beyond. Annie has hit the Pop culture and is topping the charts.
