Performed by three musicians from the Bugti tribe, this unique concert brings together the haunting sounds of Nar Sur throat singing, the rhythmic melodies of the Algoza (double flute), and the rich resonance of the Tambura. Together, these instruments and vocal traditions create a captivating musical landscape rooted in centuries of oral tradition.

The concert takes place at KBR (Royal Library of Belgium), one of Brussels' leading cultural institutions. Located in the historic Mont des Arts district, it offers a fitting setting for experiencing the rich musical traditions and stories of Nar Sur during its first-ever European tour.

Throughout the evening, the musicians will perform traditional songs and melodies that have been passed down through generations. The concert will be enriched by stories and explanations from a knowledgeable Baloch cultural representative, who will introduce the audience to the history, meaning, and cultural context behind the music, poetry, and traditions of Nar Sur.

More than a concert, this is a rare opportunity to encounter a living musical heritage that has remained largely unknown outside Balochistan until now.
