During his wedding, which became a cultural event for his followers as well as for the entire country of Pakistan and beyond, well-known Pakistani musician Hasan Raheem disclosed that he had no intention of recording the dance steps he performed to the traditional rhythms of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Following the release of images and dancing videos from his wedding on Instagram last month, Hasan’s nuptials became a viral event that gave Pakistan a vibrant look into Gilgit culture.
The Pakistani music star talked candidly about his now-famous wedding, where his trademark Gilgit-Baltistan dance swept social media, in a recent interview with Haroon Rashid on the BBC Asian Network. Hasan’s ability to combine contemporary style with traditional pride was quite remarkable.
