By Mansoor Razaque

WASHINGTON: As a historical fact, the language of music in Indo-Pak speaks directly to the hearts and minds of the people. Whenever and wherever artist from Subcontinent perform – their show of solidarity nudges opportunities for more peace, tranquility and intercultural harmony. It creates an enabling environment where new ideas germinate and bold initiatives sprout.

The concert recently organized by Manish Sood of “Across The World Travels” at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC brings a testimony to this claim. The Intense live concert featured music icons like Atif Aslam and Sunidhi Chauhan. The Capital Post, which was one of the lead media partners, had extensive across the line promotional activities for this concert.

Atif Aslam and Sunidhi Chauhan’s mesmerizing performance was greatly lauded by the participants. Both Sunidhi and Atif sung a good number of singles and dance hits from their new albums and also captivated the cheering and waving crowd with their energy and joie de vivre. Atif also sung a couple of songs from his recent movie “BOL” which is aimed at creating more awareness toward social plight of women in the developing world. A large number of Americans, members of the South Asian Community and media persons attended the program.

Earlier on the eve of press briefing, The Capital Post’s Chief Editor Mr Mansoor Razaque presented Atif Aslam, Sunidhi Chauhan and Mr Manish Sood (event organizer) with The Capital Post Certificates of Appreciation. These souvenirs marked the humble acknowledgment of the services of these people in their respective fields of human endeavor.
