Hijrat by Wajiha Naqvi
Hijrat (meaning migration in Urdu) is a musical project that aims to build bridges and transcend borders by celebrating the songs and languages of the diverse and vibrant cultural landscape of South Asia. Since COVID- 19 has severely restricted physical travel, we hope to take our listeners through a musical journey in 6 different languages (Persian, Pashto, Bengali, Sindhi, Urdu, Old Hindi) spoken across the region. If music is the universal language of mankind, each song weaves through common tales of love, separation, hope and belief. Hijrat is a celebration of both our commonality and uniqueness.
