We are once again in the territory of Rohail Hyatt - Coke studio. In the sixth season of the coke studio Pakistan, Rohail tried something different. He put forward an ensemble of artists in this song with four singers, a house band, two musicians from Nepal and two guitar players. He transformed this Hindustani Classical song in to a rock performance. The first song of this blog was "Bole re Papihara" from "Guddi" . This song was composed in raag "Miyan ki Malhar". Thus this is very close to me.
Song starts with a simpler rendition by Ayesh Omar. She says she learned this from her master when she was young so it is simple. The beats catch on with the chorus. We have a break of pace with flute solo and then Fariha Parvez joins in with Umand Ghumand . This raag has a big story behind it. They say Miyan Taansen in the court of Akbar sang this raag and rain came down. Thus it got it's name which had a word Malhar in it which means rain or Monsoon. The dholak behind is played by Babar Ali Khanna. He starts here and continues with the rock. Which is performed by two guitar solos and alapi by Rustam Fateh Ali Khan. The song ends on such a high note that you fell the rain is actually falling !
