The Burning Champa, a collection of poems, is the third publication by Zuka Books. It talks about womenâs experiences with mental health, motherhood and romance.
Itâs
the first book by Zahra Hameed. âI write and draw with the hope that women in
Pakistan are viewed as something not to be silenced but something to be
celebrated and respected for their individuality,â said Zahra.
Rearts Records talks to Instep about the barrage of upcoming music via their label.
Karakoram is releasing its debut full-length album called Ailaan-e-Jang including hits like Toofan , Raasta and Fanaa within this month.
Irrespective of the potential arrival of Spotify to Pakistan, musicians are producing music at a roaring speed. Rearts Records, one of the few record labels with credibility, is at the heart of releasing these records. The music they are releasing is a showcase of not just prolific names but also emerging names that have the potential to take the industry in a diametrically different, much more open space.

Long gone are the early and unusually optimistic days of Noori. Their last album that contained ‘
Aik Tha Badshah’ – the single version – was the direction they needed to follow. But as Noori admitted then, the album contained songs that had been written nearly a decade ago.

(BGBS) was good and upon reflection made it palpable that greater things were still going to come.
As brothers Ali Noor and Ali Hamza took a hiatus from Noori to explore solo careers – even as they admit that the band is very much alive and will come back – Hamza went his own way, working with Kami Paul and Rakae Jamil for his solo record, which is in the pipeline. Ali Noor also went a different way.
