Nobovar Chanorov (Tajik: Нобовар Чаноров, Persian: ناباور چناراف) (born 25 December 1970) is a Pamirian singer of the Shams group.

A month before the peace agreement of civil war was signed in Tajikistan, the group has returned to Dushanbe.

The musicians of the group change regularly and Shams of today is known especially thanks to its singer Nobovar Chanorov and his guitarist Iqbol Zavqibekov.

As most of his youth days were spent playing different musical instruments and singing different types of traditional and pop-songs, this took him to the doors of the Institute of Arts in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

The band "Shams" of which Nobovar is the lead singer has celebrated their 10th anniversary in Kokhi Borbad in Dushanbe in early 2010.
