ZAIR ZAKI | Rhythms of Kashmir & ZAKII | Aleph Podcast | 58

In this episode of the Aleph podcast, we are in conversation with Zair Zaki, a young Pakistani musician and rhythm guitarist for the alternative rock band Kashmir, formed in 2012. The band gained fame after winning Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 in 2017. Zair has been instrumental in the band's success, contributing to popular tracks like "Kaaghaz Ka Jahaaz" and albums such as "Khwaab" (2020) and "Zindagi" (2023). He is also known for ZAKII, his experimental side project, which explores new musical styles beyond Kashmir's traditional sound. Zair’s passion for music was fueled from a young age by rock legends like David Gilmour and John Mayer. His style combines intricate melodies with atmospheric soundscapes, evident in Kashmir’s hits like "Parwana Hun" and "Khwaab." Zair is not just a performer but also a talented songwriter whose introspective lyrics resonate with a wide audience.
