Atif Aslam to work on fusion music
RENOWNED pop star Atif Aslam has announced that he will soon be working on a fusion music project with the members of the legendary American rock band ‘Guns and Roses’ and Chris Martin, the lead singer of ‘Coldplay’.
Addressing a press conference at the Lahore Press Club, Atif said that working with the legends of the stature of Slash and Gilby Clarke is a great honour for him. He said the project aimed at fusing Pakistani folk music with western genres. He said this venture would provide him a platform to project Pakistani music among the western world through the fans of the western counterparts of the project.
Atif said Pakistan had one of the oldest and richest cultures in the world and any opportunity to promote this culture through music was a great tool to soften the ill-projected image of the Pakistanis across the world. He said he was approached by the members of the ‘Guns and Roses’ for this venture which he gleefully agreed to. He said there had not been any formal contract or agreement signing of this project as yet.
Atif told the media that he was also planning to take along Pakistani classical singers and big names in singing to introduce our music and our culture to the West in future. The American singers were quite impressed and enthralled with our music and this was a great opportunity for us to make our mark, he added.
