Comment. Here's some significant coverage in All Things Pakistan, which seems to be pretty reliable, this almanac lists the subject as one of a handful of well-known Pakistani folk singers and this local newspaper thousands of miles from Pakistan describes him as an internationally-known musician. I suspect that we are up against the perennial problem of transcription here - there are probably hundreds of different ways that the subject's name could be written in the Roman alphabet.
