Music is often used as a tool of expression rather than merely for entertainment and Pakistani music band Laal is utilising this aspect of music as a catalyst in raising socio-political issues and bringing a change in the society. Heavily inspired from the writings of revolutionary poets like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Habib Jalib and Ahmed Faraz, Laal which includes Dr Taimur Rahman (guitar/ vocals), Mahvash Waqar (back-up vocals) and Haider Rahman (flute), is in town for a performance and to release their second album Utho Meri Duniya. Excerpts from an interview with frontman Dr Taimur Rahman:
