A for Aleph / Rizwan Khan

In this Episode of Aleph Podcast, we had the opportunity to trace back time with Rizwan Khan - Lead guitarist from the band FINAL CUT, the leading band in Karachi’s underground scene in the late 80’s. 

Rizwan was considered to be one of the best guitar players in the local circuit of Karachi and was at the forefront of the musical renaissance in Pakistan - Rizwan has worked on known tracks such as 'Mein Chaldia' & 'Dastaan' alongside his band members Schehzad Mughal and Azam Riffat. They first appeared on television in 1989, rising to fame. 

Following the breakup of Final Cut, Rizwan  worked as a session player and producer for several years in Karachi, before moving to the US in the late 90’s.
