My Heart, My Life (Sapuri’s Take)

20 June 2008 One Comment

Michael Brook, a Canadian musician remixed Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the musical legend from Pakistan, a long time ago.

I was at Hong Kong airport heading to Lahore last year, when I saw Musharraf declaring a state of emergency in his sherwani- it was quite the sinking feeling- I thought I was heading straight to Shitville. I imagined all sorts of fiasco at Lahore airport when I’d land- if it were open to begin with!

Hong Kong’s airport actually has pretty high speed WiFi free of charge, and I downloaded a podcast on Pakistan’s political turmoil form iTunes, and just blended it in with this remix of My Heart, My Pain from Nusrat. If you download the .mp3 and play it in Windows Media player, iTunes or Realplayer, I also did the cover art- I was planning to stick it in Qalander’s infamous Naked Punch magazine those days…
