I wonder if this has contributed to the magnitude of her success.Female singers in Pakistan have to be very sober if they want to maintain respect, any swaying or expressions of extacy, and especially dancing will send you to inclusion in the category of cheap entertainment...but Abida gets away with it all.

My whole family loves her. Her voice is amazing. I especially love it when she sings in Saraiki - an amazingly sweet language stemming from Punjabi. I often wondered how she faired in such a male dominated realm. But I do know that she is highly respected and admired in Pakistan. Sufism has such a strong presence in the sub-continent that those who promote it's philosophy often do get much praise. Oh…I love Abida Parveen. My whole family loves her. Her voice is amazing.
