Born in Bombay, Falu's real name is Falguni Shah. She is a sufi rock singer who  combines ancient traditions and sounds with the power of modern rock music

Junoon means "obsession" in the Urdu language.  It is the name of one of Pakistan's and perhaps South Asia's most popular rock bands. The group is based in Karachi, and was formed in 1990 by guitarist, songwriter and medical doctor Salman Ahmad. Sometimes when Junoon performs in the United States, an American-based singer of Indian origin, known as Falu, opens for the group. VOA's Ravi Khanna brings us a glimpse of Falu's life and music, based on an interview by VOA's Ethnomusicologist, Brian Q. Silver.
