Junoon for Peace is the first live album and the eleventh overall album by the Pakistani band Junoon. The album was recorded live on October 27, 2001.
The concert was a tribute to the victims of the World Trade Center attacks and a call for an end to the subsequent discrimination faced by Arabs and South Asians in United States.
Background
Following the 9/11 attacks, Junoon helped to organise a concert at the General Assembly on UN Day with Junoon and an Indian group performing at the Assembly Hall, a first of its kind. They also released what they called their first English-language single, "No More", an anti-violence song which deals directly with the events of that day. Three days later, Junoon performed live and sang songs from their previous albums and those were included in this live album. The band released this album to pay tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks and a call for an end to the discrimination of the Arabs and South Asians by the Americans.
