Noor Bakhsh is musician from Pakistan and is a master of the balochi benju, a unique instrument looking at first glance like a zither with old typewriter keys attached, said to originate from the one-time ubiquity in Balochistan of a Japanese plastic toy instrument, the taishōgoto. He began playing aged 12 and has since assimilated a wide style-repertoire reflecting influences from the Arab Peninsula, Iran, Pakistan and India, playing at countless weddings and events and spending thirty years as accompanist for popular Balochi singer, Sabzal Sami.
