Ali Azmat has long been hailed as our personal Pakistani rock star with an attitude to match. Previously associated with the internationally acclaimed band JUNOON, Ali Azmat has in recent years managed to carve his own path in the ever growing music industry both locally and abroad.

Evident from his new single, “Bum Phatta”, a satirical take on the deplorable conditions been faced by the people of Pakistan amid a worrisome lack of everyday essentials such as water, electricity and food. Already being hailed as the political statement of the year, “Bum Phata” has made headlines not only for the palette tickling video directed by Jami, but also for the international notice it is receiving.
