Belonging to the beautiful Sarmeek village of Skardu, Abbas is a blind man with amazing voice skills. Undeterred by the difficulties that nature has chosen for him due to visual impairment, Abbas has been able to inspire a strong and organically expanding fan base in Gilgit – Baltistan.

In the world of distress, self-pity and depression, Abbas is an icon of self-confidence, expressiveness and creativity.

Pamir Times salutes Abbas for not only bringing smiles to our lives, but also inspiring us with his extraordinary voice abilities. To see more of Abbas’s work search YouTube or join the fan page of Abbas on facebook by clicking HERE
