Chal Diye: Remembering Haniya Aslam - Young Voices with Rakae Jamil

Location: Hall 1 Join us for a deeply personal and loving tribute to the extraordinary Haniya Aslam, whose music and heart touched so many lives. Known for her soulful voice, exceptional songwriting, and trailblazing work as a producer, Haniya’s career was a celebration of creativity and compassion. But she was more than a gifted musician and producer - Haniya was a kind mentor, a gentle dreamer, and a committed believer in the power of music to connect and uplift. This evening, we honor her legacy with performances of her most cherished songs, brought to life by the students of the National College of Arts and musicians who had the privilege of sharing the stage and studio with her. This tribute, organized and performed by Rakae Jamil, celebrates not just Haniya's artistry, but her enormous heart and the way she poured her soul into everything she did.
