Bano’s family migrated to Pakistan in 1952. That same year, at age 17, she married a zamindar (landlord) who promised to allow her to take her passion for music forward – a promise well kept. They settled in Multan, but her first live performance took place at the Lahore Arts Council in 1957, a city she would later return to.
