With Pakistan’s Music Heavyweights: Annural Khalid, Sherry Khattak and Xulfi

Punjab is about to pulse through the heart of Melbourne, with Blockbuster — a one-day explosion of Pakistani music, art and identity at Fed Square. Dilpreet Kaur Taggar sits down with three music heavyweights performing in Australia for the very first time: Annural Khalid, Spotify Pakistan’s most-streamed woman artist of 2024; Xulfi, the iconic producer behind Coke Studio’s recent evolution; and Sherry Khattak, the frontman reigniting Pakistan’s rock scene. Art might be rooted in place, but it was always meant to travel. Listen to the conversation now, only on SBS Spice, wherever you find your podcasts.
