An evening of musical nostalgia was held at the Serena Hotels in Islamabad as part of the Sarangi Music Initiative. Sajjad Haider revisited timeless melodies in Urdu reminding the audience of bygone eras. Sarangi is part of the Serena’s Cultural Diplomacy Initiative, which aims to preserve and promote the musical heritage of Pakistan. An annual competition over the last two years has given young performers and amateur bands from across the country a platform to share their talent.
