Hunza (self-named Burusho) are mountain people of northern Pakistan, about 100 thousands in total. Burushaski, their language, is not related to any other language in the world. However, it has been in constant contact with neighboring languages and has borrowings — primarily from Persian, Urdu and English. The influence of Persian is especially strong in local poetry.
Amir Khayat is a teacher at an Ismaili school in Karimabad, historically known as Baltit, the capital of the Hunza region. Ismailism is a branch of Shia Islam, to which the majority of the Hunza belong. Amir writes poetry and songs in Burushaski in the traditional style and performs them to the accompaniment of Pakistani rubab. According to him, the Persian language is especially noticeable in track 8. Track 6 is in three languages at once - Burushaski, English and Japanese. The song is dedicated to a Japanese mountain climber Tsuneo Hasegawa who perished in these mountains during ascending in 1991. He was a great friend of the Hunza and had built a school here.
