lourney in his teenage and dedicated the following years to study music. Chakkar has professionally studied Balo-
chi musical tradition and always wanted to play Benjo, defying the societal pressure to pursue a more conservative
path. SM Baloch grew up singing despite strong family opposition and met Usman coincidently when once he was
visiting Chakkar in Quetta. Together, their journey led them to the Coke Studio recently, were they sung the famous
