Aziz Balouch - Sufi Hispano-Pakistani (Expanded) (2026)

The reissue of Aziz Balouch's rare 1962 recordings features eight tracks that bridge Sufi devotional traditions with Andalusian flamenco. Balouch, a Pakistani native and protégé of Pepe Marchena, dedicated his career to demonstrating the historical and spiritual links between South Asian music and Spanish folklore. His unique performance style seamlessly integrates poetry in Persian, Sindhi, and Arabic with traditional Spanish song forms accompanied by guitar. These recordings predated the formal fields of ethnomusicology and fusion, serving as a profound exploration of shared cultural heritage.
