Against the backdrop of continuing violence against the Christian community in Pakistan, this mix-media story explores a now-extinct subculture in the port city of Karachi. Christian musicians and performers were the backbone of Karachi’s once thriving cosmopolitan culture and nightlife in the 60’s and 70’s. With the enforcement of prohibition, the imposition of martial law, and the Islamisation of the 80’s, the emigration of the Christian community began, including many of the musicians. These once great musicians have become mere ghosts in photo albums, having largely migrated to the US, Canada, and Europe.
