Sawaal – Kande Utte - Ali Azmat & Muazzam Ali Khan

Ali Azmat is a name that hardly needs an introduction. Possibly one of the most prolific of rock musicians in Pakistan today with albums spread across both his career as the lead singer for the rock band Junoon as well as his solo work, Ali Azmat remains a key player in what is known to the modern world of Pakistani music. A true artist, Ali’s trajectory as a musician led him towards pushing the boundaries of eastern and western musical tunings, exploring the art of lyrical satire and delving into the rabbit hole of experimental social commentary – for which he has received much critical acclaim.

Muazzam Ali Khan. Muazzam is a Qawwal of the reputed Qawwali group Rizwan-Muazzam fronted by himself and his brother Rizwan Ali Khan. The brothers studied under their father, Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan who died in 1996, after which they were taught by their uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - a name that has left a mark on the world of Qawwali on a global scale. Following through in their passion to exhibit the power of Sufi devotional texts, Rizwan-Muazzam were showcased at the WOMAD Festival in the United Kingdom in 1998 after which they released their first album ‘Sacrifice of Love’ in 1999. They are currently signed to Peter Gabriel’s Real World record label. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
