Jawad – Yasir and I were studying at Government College University (GCU), Lahore, where we use to play music in our free time as a hobby. PT – Punjabi music is immensely popular both in India and Pakistan, whereas Pushto music is popular only in Pushto speaking parts of Afghanistan-Pakistan region. PT – In your opinion, what is the future of Pushto folk, and folk music in general? I recently saw a short video on Facebook in which Patari is recording and promoting folk music, and it looked promising. I hope Pashtuns from KP, FATA, Balochistan and across the border will keep Pashto folk music alive.
