Ali Hamza of the duo Noori fame launched his first solo tour of Karachi produced by Salt Arts. The first show held last night, Wednesday 14, December was attended by an enthusiastic audience across ages.

‘Sanwal’ is Ali Hamza's introspective musical journey inspired by the memory of sound and poetics. ‘As a collaborator and curator working with Hamza has been a real chemical mix – he is perceptive, gentle and a seasoned artist,’ says Salt Art Curator Rania Azam Khan Durrani exclusively to Hello!

Rania co-founded Salt Arts in 2015, with the vision to strengthen audiences, create inter-cultural exchange and develop sub-cultures via music, creative expression and technology, in Pakistan, South Asia and beyond.
