What more can a mother ask for than to see the evolutionary journey of the one she has produced!Thank you both of you!Bless you.
Our pleasure! ❤️🙏🏼💕
The song "Sutta" was written, composed, and performed by the Karachi-based band Zeest, with Saqib Abdullah being the creative force behind this iconic track ❤️
We would love to have him on your podcast, considering that this song emerged during the early days of the internet in the subcontinent.
I'm so glad he addressed the Meray Log solo. That solo was literally played in our friend group for 4 years straight throughout our bachelors. Imagine 20 young guys and girls sitting in silence while that solo played on repeat. Eventually that song became like our theme song for life and to this day when we all meet we listen to it atleast once and still get goosebumps during that solo. Please get Faraz Anwar to play it at your studio or like a proper recording of it!
Thank u for bringing hamza to us.
You’re welcome! Let us know who else you’d like to see on the show!

Humble, talented and superb artist.. I still remember vividly our band "Atish" opened the show in 2015 Quetta and they were so friendly and down to earth.
Ali hamza can truly do it all 🫶
1. In a number of your interviews you rightly asked minimal questions and let the interviewee reflect and talk. Here, you were more eager to tell Ali Hamza your thoughts and cut him out and spoke when he was about to say something. You will notice this yourself when you watch it. 2. As an amateur musician who grew up In Pakistan, your detailed interviews with musicians are a treat. It's great that we get to know the personalities and journeys of those musicians too who may not be famous (obviously not referring to A. Hamza). 3. But if you could, please also talk with them about their equipment and way of learning, playing, mixing and recording when they began and currently. For both young and elder instrumentalists / musicians, this aspect is critical and very interesting, as I am sure you know well. 4. Again so glad that you are doing this. Thank you, it is a tremendous service and a great source of inspiration for musicians and others into Pakistani art.
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
This podcast was perfect specifically for people who want to persue music as a career. Both of them know there stuff but My God Ali hamza is itself is a whole institution really. I'm going to watch this podcast repeatedly to make sure I'm syncing it all in. WHAT A LEGEND
Watched the whole episode now, quite late I know but thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Noori has always had a special place in my life.
Asusual amazing podcast, asked the right questions. Keep it up and waiting for more :)

CBM shalwar hahahahahahaaaaa yaar i am again a teen ager Love you Ali Hamza
A commercial band, used to spread propaganda and change mindset of the youth, He is acting like some kind of a intellectual and rebellious person.
Bc Sutta Saqib bhai ka ha the Zesst band
The guest is on because he/she has something to offer. It is pretty pointless if the guest has to compete with the interviewer for the attention of the viewer.
No offense but I think more mediocre artists are going towards Rap because it does not demand musical expertise in it and one can express themselves through words with certain beats pattern
Certainly seems to be the case
