10th Death Anniversary of Allan Faqir

Remembering Allan Fakir

Allan Fakir (1932–2000) (Sindhi: اَلڻُ فقيرُ, Urdu: الن فقیر), a Pakistani folk singer is a one of the foremost exponents of sufi music in Pakistan. He is particularly known for his ecstatic style of performance marked with extreme devotional rhetoric and sufi dance singing. His peculiarly funny body language and distinctively pleasing facial expressions marked with a broad smile, were always amusing for his audience at live performances.

It has been 10 years, since the country lost the legendary folk singer Allan Fakir.
