In this Aleph Podcast, A for Aleph Founder Umair Dar had the pleasure of having Adnan Afaq—a maestro whose jazz and modern fusion expertise has set him apart in Pakistan's music landscape.
Having collaborated with leading artists like Sajjad Ali and Fakhr-e-Alam, Adnan's musical journey is as inspiring as his mastery is profound. From his early days with 'Powerhouse' to his impactful role in the glam rock band 'Arsh', and his critical success with the alternative rock outfit 'Circle', his story weaves through the rich tapestry of Pakistan's sonic history. As a revered guitar instructor, Adnan has mentored a generation of virtuosos, including Faraz Anwar and Shallum Xavier, shaping the nation's musical prowess. Now, as the Director of the Music Academy at Arts Council, Karachi, and the force behind his band 'ACMA', he continues to influence and innovate. Delve into Adnan's melodious beginnings, his reverence for legends like Amir Zaki, the intricacies of the recording process, and his vision for Pakistan's musical future. Listen to his reflections, learn from his experiences, and get inspired by his influential presence in the industry.
