HAMZA JAFRI | The Militants Have Multiplied | Aleph Podcast | 8

In this episode of the Aleph Podcast we had the pleasure of inviting Hamza Jafri, the legendary singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer from Lahore’s co-VEN - a seminal band of Pakistan’s rock scene, and also the man behind the Braadri Broadcast. Hamza also founded The Guitar School in Lahore and has been the musical composer/director of several musical theatrical productions with the M.A.D school in Karachi. The conversation delves into multiple facets of Hamza’s musical DNA; from early influences and the beginnings of co-Ven, to what drives his writing process and the thoughts and feelings behind the band’s hard hitting musical & lyrical socio-political commentary.

Directed, Shot and Edited by Shaan Haider
