World Fusion - Travel Compilation
Maham’s World Fusion music album, ‘Mitti’, is a musical travelogue: a compilation of alternative Folk/Jazz/Blues Rock fusion recordings from Pakistan, the Indian Bengal, & Spain; produced by her (physically, also virtually) across 5 countries. ‘’Mitti’ (Urdu = soil) is a breeding ground for inter-cultural collabs, and a statement of self-empowerment and world peace.
Contemporary Folk Fusion
‘Pari Sufna’ is a 5-track E.P. of Hunza-Punjab folk fusion: the mountains and the plains of Pakistan. An octa-lingual contemporary ethnic project with a contemporary, innovative take on music arrangement, created under Maham’s direction of her 24-piece ensemble for a live festival, afterwards taken by her to the studio(s) & to international music markets.
