For hundreds of years, musicians from India and Pakistan have taken the poetry called ghazal and set it to music. The songs project such deep longing that you don’t need to know Urdu to feel the pain. Produced by Rob Weisberg.

Fantastic interview. Love you, Alan! You were one of the main influences for me to get back into acting later ...
