NEW YORK: Nov 13 (PNS) - Junoon, leading Pakistani band rocked New York City with a startling performance at Village Underground on November 6th, 2002. Junoon who is on there "Junoon's Passion for Peace Tour" had another sold out night where they entertained the crowd with Pakistani music with a blend of western touch.

They recently received a complementary letter from U2's Bono about there work and showed there appreciation by singing a single from U2 album among lot of cheering from the crowd.

Junoon recently released their first English song No More dedicated for the victims of 9/11. They were the only Pakistani band present at the Daniel Pearl Music Day on Oct 10 on request by Judea Pearl (Father of Daniel Pearl) Salman Ahmed said, " We were happy to perform. Judea Pearl asked us and we feel for him, especially because this murder took place in our back yard, in Karachi. Danny had been a big music fan and had listened to `Parvaaz'' [Junoon''s 1999 release] and so if I can do anything to ease his father's pain and participate in this day, I want to. What happened was totally condemnable."

Association of Pakistani Professionals (http://aopp.org) congratulated Salman Ahmed and rest of band. S. Asif Alam of AOPP said that Junoon has shown true Pakistan to the world by projecting its rich and tasteful music to the western world and have rightly projected Pakistan as country of peace loving people by dedicating there song No More to the 9/11 victims.

Junoon will finish their tour on November 14th, 2002 at University of Massachusetts. More information about the group can be found at http://aopp.org
