The Australian High Commission celebrated ‘Australia Day in Spring 2017’ in Islamabad showcasing a musical performance that highlighted the shared and diverse cultural heritage of Pakistan and Australia.
The performance featured Pakistani-Australian singer/songwriter Mahmood Khan, who had flown in from Australia especially to join the celebrations, and students from the Leif Larsen Music Centre, Hunza, playing traditional Burushaski music of Gilgit-Baltistan on Rabab and Sitar. A world music artist originally from Lahore, Mahmood topped the Australian music chart in 2009 with the single ‘Like the River’ recorded live at the Sydney Opera House. Mahmood is known in Pakistan for his recordings with the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
