Folks at Dawn Images got to catch up with the two mainstream members of the peace through music project, Atif Aslam and Lanny Cordola. They revealed interesting facts about the on-going ventures in the project and what could we expect from it in the coming years.
When Atif Aslam was asked about the core idea of the project, he said
A visit to Sanjannagar with Todd Shea, spreading the word about the Sonic Peacemaker project. An almost full day filled with music, an in depth tour of the grounds, an introduction to the Sagarveena, speakers that literally bring Edith Piaf and Miles davis into the room, chats with Noori, and mindblowing conversations with The Raza Kazim.
“Pakistan: I Have A Dream”

Guns N’ Roses and Faraz Anwar were supposed to work on the project “The Dreamer Awakes“, says Pakistan’s master of progressive rock himself. The peace through music project which is now in the hands of Atif Aslam was supposed to be in Faraz’ hands.
He was completely furious about the project he started as he has been cut off without even giving him any credit. He added, “Some people take information from you and cut you off from something you started without even giving you credit.”
Atif who is now collaborating with popular American rock band, Guns N’ Roses and is the face of the ‘Pakistan America Peace Through Music Project‘, was chosen by the musician turned humanitarian Todd Shea. Atif says, “Todd mentioned my voice being the main reason why he chose me the face of the project. After listening to me, he became a fan and then he started researching on me and found out that this guy is famous.”
Faraz updates his facebook status:
“The point of teaming up with American musicians is that there is no better way than music to let people from both sides know what each thinks about the other.” – Atif Aslam jams with Guns N’ Roses
