A Study of the Evolution of Pashto Music in Southern Pashtoon Khwa
تلخیص
Music is a form of fine art and cultural activity whose medium is
sound organized in time. Music has had almost its presence in all
cultures of the world. Pashto – which is a centuries‟ old language of
Indo-European family of the Aryan race – has no exception to and
predominantly the art of music is an ancient heritage of Southern
Pashtoonkhwa. Nevertheless, there are few specific quarters of
musicians, who have been admirably contributing to preserve this
waning art from the whole disappearance. Their determination and
exertion in this direction has no match and has mainly been dubbed
incomparable by the writers and researchers to have not only
preserved this cultural gift, but has also been imparting trainings to
the young generations. Their unmatched endeavors have gifted
dozens of artists to the music field.Apart from musicians‟ role, the
contribution of Quetta Radio is considered second to none in terms of
its part played for the promotion of Pashto music; which has been
communicating the melodious pitch, rhythm, dynamics of Pashto
music. It was the miracle of radio taking Pashto folkloric music from
guest houses to each nook of Pashtoonkhwa. This golden opportunity
was materialized to the maximum extent and folk singers recorded
their regional folk songs which has now been termed cultural asset.In
this research paper, the scholar has strived to critically anaylize the
evolutionary voyage of Pashto music in Southern Pashtoonkhwa
