Dubai is set to witness a harmonious fusion of genres as the Pakistani singing sensation Atif Aslam returns to the city for a performance with Firdaus Orchestra this weekend. The concert is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 2, at Coca Cola Arena.
Atif shares his excitement and vision for the upcoming event, saying that he is “very excited to be a part of this event again because there are some new numbers like Rabba Sacheya and Channa which we didn’t cover before.”
He further added that his songs will be fused with a lot of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s renditions.
Atif’s music melding with the grandeur of Firdaus Orchestra is expected to evoke a unique anticipation. Atif’s selection process for the concert repertoire mirrors his eclectic musical journey. He fuses some of the old folk melodies that are very close to his heart with his songs. Atif’s profound connection with his fans is an evidence to the transcendent power of melody.
Moreover, the singer said;
“It is just the way people respond to my songs and respond to what I create. And I would never want to take the credit for it, especially with Kalams like Tajdar-e-Haram have just been given to me to sing, and feel like prayers to me,”
Dubai holds a special place in Atif’s heart, with its vibrant atmosphere and diverse audience. He affirms;
“I definitely have a great connection with the city,” “Especially during the months of December, January, and February. In the other months, we definitely have a cold war between the summers and I. But I love the city, the vibe, the people, and the diverse audience here.”
