Arif Lohar and Meesha- Coke Studio, Jugni

[Billy Bob]

One of the SICKEST coke studio performances ever. Its basically a long ass jugni song. Amazing, on repeat non stop, really well put together song. Also If you don't know who Meesha Shafi is, check her out, pretty coo (Mela Kariye her video on youtube). ENJOY!

there were a couple of more punjabi songs this week, noori sang 'hor vi neevan ho fakira' and amanat ali and sanam marvi did 'mahi yaar di ghadoli/ ghoom charakhra'. they killed it as well.

Hahah, that mirza sahibaan video. Arif loves to rock out. If you watch the making of the song video they kinda talk about it.

Coke Studio is awesome! I've DLed almost all the songs from the website and am a fan of their alternative Sufiana selections...and I've found it particularly interesting how there is a much larger prominence of Rock music in Pakistan than in India (not necessarily larger, but more prominent)...anyone got an idea why?

lot of pakistani rock is politically motivated or socially motivated. i guess indian musicians are more concerned about love and bullshit rather than anything else. also indian television media does not promote any other type of music than bollywood playback singing now. back in the day saregamapa used to be a showcase for young classical singers but in the past 6 years it has become essentially just a drama show that only does bollywood. other channels follow suit and real musicians who play their own music and write it are left in the dust. india has some great rock bands but they arent given exposure from anything but maybe some mtv india shows and gigs.

Why is rock music so popular in Pakistan?


Because that is where the money is.

good points! but i know what you mean about SRGMP...i stopped watching because the drama was increasing faster than the amount of good singing...
