The fusion concert, held on Thursday, October 4, at the Al Hussein Cultural Center Auditorium in Amman, Jordan was hosted by the Pakistan Women's Cultural Club (PWCC) under the Patronage of HRH Princess Sarvath El Hassan. Every two years, PWCC puts on a Pakistani cultural event in the form of arts and crafts, film and fashion to share their cultural heritage with the Jordanian public.
This musical and cultural collaboration between Pakistan and Jordan acted as a mechanism for cultural diplomacy by bringing together humanity through art and music, said the artists. As musical ambassadors, they facilitated cross-cultural understanding and promoted unity and peace between their two nations by singing songs in various languages and dialects.
The evening was filled with a fusion of Pakistani, Arab, Spanish and English popular music, which was sung in different genres, including folk, contemporary and mystical. Instruments and poetry from other countries were also incorporated to exhibit the extent to which music transcends borders and cultures in our globalized world, said the artists on stage.
SemaZen, whose mission is to spread positive messages through interactive performances, collected songs from different faiths and languages around the world to be sung at the concert. During the performance, the band urged the audience to join them in singing, even during a Spanish number that was selected in honor of Venezuelan guests present.
The concert was a lively and spirited event with the musicians, as well as some of the audience members, dancing in their seats as multicolored lights and slideshow images of Pakistani culture, art and nature flashed on the back wall of the stage. This joyful atmosphere made the evening seem even more so like a celebration between the performers and the audience.

The old man stood in the cold, moved by these Zo couplets. When the singers finished, the old man turned toward me and asked my name. I told him my name and my role in creating the Manjoora album. He hugged me and kissed my forehead.
Today, Torwali people are Sunni Muslim, and we mostly live in the upper reaches of the Swat valley, around the town of Bahrain. An overwhelming majority of Torwalis are multilingual in Torwali, Pashto, and Urdu. A small number can also speak English and other Dardic languages, such as Gawri, Indus Kohistani, and Shina. Until 2004, Torwali was not a written language; today, there are some books written in and about Torwali, but it is still under-resourced. According to my research for the 2017 national census of Pakistan, Torwali is presently spoken by a population of about 140,000 people. Torwali is one of the twenty-seven languages in Pakistan which face attrition and are categorized by UNESCO as endangered.
The story of my involvement in language revitalization starts in my teens. I often went to the jungles in Swat to gather firewood or morel mushrooms. While on the pine tree ridges, I used to hear sweet singing of Zo, traditional Torwali folksongs, by other foragers. The sound mingled with the breeze which gushed over the trees, providing a kind of accompaniment. I also tried to sing loudly. It often became a kind of competition in which the singers could not see each other, only hearing the songs and responding.
