Rahat rocks Wembley

Published September 13, 2014

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan rocked the Wembley arena recently when he performed a series of well-known qawwalis and some of his hit Bollywood songs before a large audience.

Rahat FK was on a tour of Europe to promote his new album, Back2Love. Those who were there say that the singer drew music lovers of Pakistani origin in a big number, and there were people from India and England who filled up the arena in no time.

On the way back to Lahore, he also performed at the Audi launch in Karachi held at the Mohatta Palace.

Well, that’s the magic of music. It unites people and causes no divisions.
