This guy is from my university NUST and is a famous singer now.

<3 this medley

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

P.S: Thread is exclusively for Pak songs so please no on-Pakistani stuff, thanks.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

The biggest underachiever in Pak music --> Tahir Aly Shah.

He rocked the underground scenes in late 2000s but for some reason only sang 3-4 songs with his 2 bands.

I really like this song. Where is he now?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I really like this song. Where is he now?

He is working with Hum TV or Ary TV but left music. Only 5 songs in 12 years which is a tragedy.

Have you listened to his other songs?

I havent actually. Never heard of him before.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I havent actually. Never heard of him before.

He is another lost one from our golden generation (2003-2011) of underground musicians.
The guitarist Somair is <3 too

Check out these 2 songs aswell.

Silsilay by Tahir and Somair

Kaanch by Tahir and Somair (especially guitar from 3:49 - 4:05)

[Nostalgic]

I really like this act. "Duniya Re" is another nice number from them, with a qawwali-style chant that comes as a surprise the first time one listens to it:

 

[Nostalgic]

Speaking of undergroud/non-mainstream acts, no one comes even close to Poor Rich Boy. The cryptic yet articulate lyrics, the attention to composition, the polish, no one else comes close. They have just the one Urdu song so far (copied below), but they've got a couple of English albums out, and they pioneered the ukulele-driven sound in Pakistan that so many of the newer acts feature nowadays.

I love this video. The acting is superb: the bass player's expressions are spot-on throughout.

P.S. I was a NUSTian too, eons ago...

 

[DeadBall]

So this is what Shady does when he's pretending to be injured

Woow thats cool.

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pakistan's first female rock band!

Guitarist ;3

 

[Nostalgic]

Woow thats cool.

Stafffaaaa

Staffas, and runners, and GCs and NCs and PCs...

I was a grad student. We didn't have to wear uniforms, but I distinctly remember instructions to sport an "officer-standard haircut," wear collared shirts, and only use the officers' restrooms and the officers' mess. There was also the medical prior to joining, where the doctor had to sign off on a number of health issues. I distinctly remember one item asking the doctor to verify that the student "is not ruptured and does not suffer from an inordinate amount of varicose veins." Make what you will of the "ruptured" part.

I like Junoon, Coke studio, Abrar ul Haq and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Thaaaaaaat's all my exposure to Pakistani music. Well my general exposure to music is very limited to begin with.

I guess you are the same guy who has interest in Urdu Shayri, right?

 

[Sirris]

Guys how would you describe what's Pakistani music is like to a non-pakistani / non-south Asian? Without making the the answer sound too intellectual.

Someone once asked me how is Pakistani music like and I embarrassingly had no clue. I was like " I dunno just music in different language."

I would describe it as something like:
Pakistan music (from 2003-2011) is the best, then we had an off period but now we are coming back. Pak music is really versatile. You have awesome songs in every genre. Lyrics, music and composition are usually amazing.

Especially if one understands Urdu then there is none better than Pak music!

Well only when life situation is such that it requires a dose of shayri to lift me up. Not quite an active participant of "bait bazi".

He had another good song named 'pind' but I cannot find it on youtube now. Honestly, I am not liking this newer version of his songs.

[Nostalgic]

I was going to post this. It is great to see them doing Urdu songs now. This isn't quite as good as Tootay Huay Aadmi, but they remain the best of the non-mainstream acts.

 

[Nostalgic]

Xulfi and his crew have done really well here. The music is so carefully crafted. One criticism I had of Nescafe Basement was that the visuals just didn't do justice to the music, and the corporate sponsor went overboard with the advertising: in previous seasons, a Nescafe ad would pop up, taking up a big chunk of the screen. They have resolved these issues now.

I thought one of the qawwals looked familiar, and then I remembered that he is Zain Ali, who was on Ghorak Dhanda, from the show's last season. He is a grandson of Rahmat Ali Khan, who was part of Nusrat's group of humnawaas. There is a clear NFAK influence in this song too.

 

[Nostalgic]

By the way, Nescafe Basement have got a Hazara musician and also a vocalist this time around. Its about time this persecuted community got some promotion and recognition, don't you think?

Thanks! If I recall correctly, the original by Sibtain Khalid was on Nescafe Basement Season 3.

 

[Nostalgic]

Xulfi is an underrated Pakistani legend!

He has come along in leaps and bounds since the eP days. eP were fine for what they were, but its quite a journey from grunge-inspired rock to being able to produce something like Haiderium.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Thanks! If I recall correctly, the original by Sibtain Khalid was on Nescafe Basement Season 3.

Yep. I like this one more though.

My Word... I was in my early teens when I heard this Gazal for the first time and it became a fav. instantly ....Infact, this whole album was superb with another master piece " Kya thajo Ghari bhar ko Tum laut ke aajatay , bemmaray Mohabbat ko Surat to Dikha jatay" ..
