- With 30 million record sales under his belt, and with fans including Bono and Al Gore, Pakistan-born Salman Ahmad is renowned for being the first rock & roll star to destroy the wall dividing the West and the Muslim world. Salman's story began in New York, where he spent his teen years learning to play guitar, hanging out at rock clubs, making American friends, and dreaming of rock-star fame. When his family returned to Pakistan and Salman was forced into the strictures of a newly fundamentalist society, he created his own underground jihad: a traveling guitar club that met in private spaces, mixing Urdu love poems with Casio synthesizers and ragas with power chords. He pioneered "Sufi rock" by marrying his teenage love of Led Zeppelin's sinuously behemoth riffs to the ecstatic vocal acrobatics of the millennia-old qawwali style of singing common to Pakistan. Facing down angry mullahs and oppressive dictators who wanted all music to be banned from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Salman Ahmad rocketed to the top of the music charts, bringing Westernstyle rock and pop to Pakistani teenagers for the first time. Later, he founded Junoon, which became South Asia's biggest rock band ('the U2 of Asia'). In the center of a new generation of young Pakistanis whose religion gives them compassion for and not fear of the West, and who see modern music as a "rainbow bridge" that links their lives to the rest of the world, nothing could stop Salman's star from rising.--From publisher description.
