🇵🇰Pakistan Music: Lyari Notes | Witness

Pakistani rock musician, Hamza Jafri, travels in an armed vehicle. The musician is famous for his hard hitting political lyrics since the 1990s.

Since then, religious fundamentalism has been on the rise with shops selling music torched, concerts bombed, and musicians receiving death threats.

Seeing the shrinking space for music and artists Hamza opened a music school in Karachi.

Lyari Notes is the story of four young girls who attend Hamza Jafri’s music school and learn what it takes to express themselves through music despite the cycles of violence in Karachi’s most volatile district.
