Who can forget the bubble-gum pop of Nazia and Zoheb Hassan? The infectious melodies, the goofy lyrics, the fresh-faced and "cool" appeal of the musical siblings... It all takes me back to a time when I was much, much, much younger and much, much, much less cynical. Nazia passed away a few years ago after a battle with lung cancer (and a painful and abusive marriage). She'd been living in the UK. In 2002, Nazia was posthumously awarded the Pakistan Pride of Performance Award. Her family has created a charitable foundation in her memory. Here's a short but touching tribute to her.
I had no idea what had happened to Zoheb until recently, when I saw that he had released a new album called Kismat. It's apparently a huge hit in Pakistan - over 50,000 sold - and now he is hoping to launch the album in India (where the real money is).
