Two musical giants, one legendary track, and a virtual collaboration that has stunned audiences worldwide.
Atif Aslam, hailed as the modern voice of Pakistan, has delivered a mesmerizing rendition of “Sanu Ek Pal Chain Na Awaey” in the latest season of Velo Sound Station — paying homage to the incomparable Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (NFAK). In a groundbreaking move, Atif’s vocals are interwoven with NFAK’s original voice, brought to life through a visionary production helmed by acclaimed director Bilal Lashari.
For years, fans have dreamt of a collaboration between these two icons. Though Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan passed away in 1997, Lashari’s cutting-edge direction and visual effects have created an experience that feels both deeply nostalgic and powerfully new.
The emotional impact has been immediate and overwhelming. Social media is flooded with praise:
“It was always a dream to hear NFAK live, but hearing him with Atif is something else entirely,” one fan posted.
“This is what happens when three legends unite — Atif, NFAK, and Lashari,” another added.
Blending tradition with innovation, the performance honors Pakistan’s rich musical heritage and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in digital music production. With Atif’s soul-stirring delivery, NFAK’s timeless vocals, and Lashari’s cinematic mastery, this tribute is celebrated as one of the most iconic musical moments inhistory.
