Alamgir

Genre: Pop/Rock
Hometown: Pakistan

Alamgir was born in 1954 in East Pakistan. He left home at the age of 16, in search of destiny. He brought with him his guitar an extra shirt and a small tape recorder. He did not know anyone in Karachi and desperately was in search of a job. After few days he found work at Tariq Hotel, where he used to play Guitar and sing popular song to the clients in the evening. His remuneration was a free meal at the hotel. Someone from the audience in the hotel liked his Guitar playing and told him about the programme at the T.V. station called `Ferozan' where Khushbakht Aliya was conducting a show for the youth. He gave his audition, Khushbakht liked his Guitar playing but she had already selected someone else. It just so happened that Sohail Rana, the music director was in the next studio and asked someone to call Alamgir to his car outside the T.V. station. He said, he liked his (Alamgir's) playing and asked if he would like to perform for children. This is how he entered in the formal world of Music. Alamgir's voice gives his song that haunting and lifting rhythm that long after
