The Kho are numbered about 200.000 in Pakistan and 20.000 in neighbouring India. Khowar, their language ("war" means "language"), is an Indo-Aryan tongue belonging to the same sub-group as Kashmiri.
The party took place in Chatorkhand village at Asif Zaman's house where his family was welcoming friends from Hunza valley together with Antonovka Records team. Those can occasionally be heard in the background.
The songs are in Khowar except track 3 (in both Urdu and Khowar) and track 5 (in Urdu). Main topic is love. Track 5 is about ups and downs of life.
Main musical instrument is a local sitar (a long necked lute related to Pamir setor and not to be confused with Indian sitar). Asif makes sitars himself. Drumming is performed on an empty gas canister (usual practice in the area) by his brother Shah Zaman. The brothers are joined by their friend Mehboob Alam on vocals.
