Artist Nasser Azam says his artistic journey to Pakistan after 25 years was a “majestic and sublime” experience. Speaking to media, Nasser Azam said he visited Pakistan for spiritual reasons to reconnect with his roots to get inspiration for his creativity. “My trip to Pakistan was part of my ‘Saiful Malook’ project, where I visited the lake on an artistic journey with the music composer Soumik Datta. I first came across the mesmerising music of Nushret Fateh Ali Khan in the early 1990s and I immediately fell in love with his translation of the Sufi Saint Mian Muhammad Baksh’s seminal poem Saiful Malook,” Azam said.
