The story

Baluchi Music Festival in Zahedan/Chabahar

The Baluchi Music Festival spans Zahedan and the coastal city of Chabahar, showcasing the distinct musical traditions of the Baloch people, whose instruments, trance-inducing guati rituals and embroidery traditions reflect a culture spread across Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Baloch people occupy a cultural and linguistic region that spans three modern nation-states, with the majority residing in Pakistan and significant populations in Iran and Afghanistan, unified by the Balochi language despite the political borders drawn across their historic territory.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Baloch music centers on distinctive instruments such as the sorud and suroz, bowed string instruments with a resonant, droning quality, alongside frame drums used in guati healing ceremonies, a trance-based ritual tradition believed to address spiritual afflictions through rhythm and movement

02

The mystery stays covered

Zahedan, the provincial capital, and Chabahar, Iran's southernmost city and a free-trade port on the Gulf of Oman, together represent the inland and coastal poles of Baloch cultural geography, giving a festival spanning both cities a chance to showcase regional variation within a single ethnic tradition
