I am going to be in Pakistan in December. I am planning to get tons of CDs of PAkistani singers. The only problem is I am not up-to-date with the latest groups and individual singers. I know, all the old ones like Sajjad Ali, Ali Haiders etc. Anyone who has become famous in last 5 years, I have no clue. There are a few I know, like waris baig and Rahim Shah. But thats about it. Can someone please lead me to a good source or just list a few good ones maybe?
Fakhir, Shehzad roy, Jawaad ahmad, Abrar ul haq
some ppls like Haroon too

Some ppl like Hadiqa Kiani..
Ali Sher

Strings

A friend of mine had a couple of songs from "Dr. or Billa" Pretty funny stuff.
I also liked a song in his car from JahaNzaib... "Ik baar kaho tum meri ho"... Any comments on these?
there are various music websites on the net that post up the latest releases. You can sample the songs on the websites before you buy the cd's.

** * P.s " my advice to u is be careful when buying cd’s, cos the pakistani shop keepers are very clever if they see ur a non-desi they will try and charge u extra more than the cd’s is worth so go with one of ur relatives who know’s the price rates also try and check the cd’s before buying them some cd’s could be scrached and mite not work & as there is no returning policy in pakistani stores 
u’ll lose money if u didn’t check before buying ***
I cant stand this guy! 
i can c where ur coming from brov’ it happens some singers automatically just click in listeners mind’s and some don’t
Ok, I got a pretty good compiled list now. Thanks to all who posted.
Keep adding to the list if you wish and I will keep checking.
Fariha Pervaiz - Gal Mukh Gayee
Nazia Hassan
and Waris Baig’s new album is also pretty good.
I just listend to a song from a new artist Abbas Ali Khan featured on Muzikpakistan.com. Boy he is pretty goood.
