*Brother* ... Please also react on *ALLAHu Akbar* ,,, and ,,, *Tu Kuja Mann Kuja* ,,, and ,,, *Hairaan Huaa* by Coke Studio Pakistan... Thanks a lot... Love, Respect & Salaam from Kashmir, Pakistan.
The guy you see at 8:18 moving his both hands is Zulfi (Xulfi). He is the brains behind this song, all of Nescafe basement music and Coke Studio Season 14 songs. Just thought that you should know. Hope to see more reactions. 🙂
Hey Jim, that "scatting" is called "Sargam" (pronounced: sir-gum). The trick with Sargam (and why it's so impressive and difficult) is that it consists of seven notes of a scale, and each word the person is singing must correspond with the note as well as the pitch of that note in the scale they are in. Western Music: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti. Asian Music: Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni. So imagine someone just singing Do Re Mi, and the pitch for each note has to be right. At 06:10 in your video, you can hear her singing the actual notes (Ma, Pa, Da ... Ni, Pa) of the scale she is in. The faster you go, the more difficult it becomes. That's why that 'Raag' song by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (Nobel Peace Prize) that you first reacted to is so impressive. Hope it helps :)
Hey Brother, From Ohio here. I am American and Pakistani, you gotta listen to Faasle by Kaavish and QB from Coke studio. Faasle literally means distance. The female single Quratulain Baloch who goes by QB as well has got an amazing voice. You have listened to her in Season 14.
This right here is my favorite song in the whole world. Nothing I've listened to before or since comes close. Kind of my life motto. I believe that these kinds of masterpieces only come once in a lifetime. Even the artists are not aware of the effects this song is capable of making!
This and songs like TU JHOOM is basically on the fringes of Sufi theology which focuses on introspection and finding the deeper meaning of life, to discover within oneself what one is blessed with and then using it to its true potential. These compositions and lyrics are meant to be listened to without breaks and let it transport you to another realm. Glad you enjoyed it and felt the vibes.
She was 8 at this performance. The song is written by the same writer as Tu Jhoom who is the male singer in this song. Today Aug 14 is Independence Day of Pakistan.
It is beautiful. Hadiya Hashmi is training in sufi music. At the time she was 8yrs old. There is an interview on youtube about her training and journey. Absolutely love this one. It touches the heart and soul.
Adnan, the male vocalist, is also the song writer of TU JHOOM. His lyrics have always been very meaningful. I'd suggest one of his earlier performances on Nescafe Basement, UTH JAWANA. The lyrics are based around the social and economic commentary of the country. The song has one of the best intros and flute solos on Nescafe Basement. Thanks for your interest in Pakistani music, it's a great natural treasure!
This is such a beautiful reaction. The girl was 7 or 8 years old when she recorded this song. It’s such a peaceful piece of music that forces one to contemplate upon one’s existence in this world. How many times do we actually stop and think about our purpose in life? The hustle and bustle of life takes such prophetic moments away from us usually. By the way, the lead singer who started off the song is Adnan Dhool (the lead vocalist of Soch the band). You did see him before in Coke Studio Season 14 song, Nerey Nerey Vas.. he’s also an awesome lyricist lending his creative pieces to many others artists all the time. But the credit for discovering the girl goes to Coke Studio 14’s music producer Xulfi, who is also the producer of this show. This show came before CS Season 14. He is an excellent musician and a genius artist. He has discovered so many undergoing artists in Pakistan over his career who are thriving and making great headways in music now. Basically building up Pakistan’s future generation of musicians 😊. Nescafé basement basically dealt with emerging artists and Coke Studio dealt with established artists. So that was the main difference between these shows. This song is truly a journey into self-reflection and finding peace within one self. I’m glad that you enjoyed it this much. Thanks for the awesome reaction 👍😊.
Producer and director is from Coke Studio season 14. XULFI brought these young talents here on Nescafe and later showcased them on CS14 when he took the charge. He's a legend in sound designin
She was 8 at the time. She is now around 14, I believe. The lead singer is Adnan Dhool, who was on Neray Neray Vas. He is one of the best lyricists in the country. By the way, did you recognize the lead guitarist? It's Sherry Khattak, from Karakorum band on Ye Dunya.
Thanks for your reactions on Pakistani music. My prayers are with you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you good luck, and complete success with your channel and the charity work you are doing.
You nailed the meaning of the song. Lots of coke studio and nescafe basement (what this was) songs are in regards to the philosophy of Sufism which while deeply derived from Islamic philosophy has very agnostic topics of self enlightenment. Been loving your reactions and dissections of these songs
Wellcome back to another roller coaster musical journey Nescafe basement 5 and previous seasons is a gem like coke studio season 14, because all thease seasons are produced by XULFI, I am happy you are pacing slowly, understanding and then moving forward to next gem, nescafe basement will offer you more gems songs, Looking forward
Love your reaction as always, will you react to "Sweet Child of Mine" from Nescafe basement, you gonna love it, and that guys voice feels like original like guns & roses
Nescafe Basement produced by the same musical genius Xulfi (Zulfi) who produced CS14.Check out "Talash" "Sweet Child o Mine" etc from Nescafe Basement.....
Brother when media stuff fucked us up we were able to find people like you who are trying to show the different and real face of our country. I want to say thank you much brother for doing this so much respect and love. I would like to request you to please react on "Wohi Khuda hai" and "Taj Dar-e-Haram" by Atif Aslam from Coke Studio it will give your self some necessary feeding between its oky if you butcher those names while reading from completely different language. ❤️
I'm an American born Pakistani , if I could recommend some bands to look into for reactions: Karakoram (they did "yeh dunya" which I believe is the first coke studio song you reacted to) Kashmir (no not THAT band lol) Junoon (probably the group most famous for bringing rock and Sufism to mainstream Pakistan in the late 90s and early 2000)
@@ibrarbari4538 Which one? I mentioned that he did the review on Yeh Dunya, but they have some other great tracks out that are worth checking out (including the entire album lol).
Sufi lyrics, sufi music has very derp meaning. It is about fighting the inner battle ( inner demons) uplifting the sprit and finding God. Inner demons can mean a number of things like addiction etc and one can only fight the inner demons when the body and soul says God meaning one can only fight it with the help of God and only when one really wants to and then piece by piece one can pick up the pieces of one's destiny
Awesome. Keep it up. I Like your Reactions Pls try coke studio season 9 & 10 in your reaction you will also love it. I suggest, Tinak Dhin Hina ki Khushbo Woh tera pyaar
This little Pakistani girl ( 8 at the time ) epitomises Pakistan 🇵🇰 singing talent . Our singers are literally the best in the world , Pakistani singers even ruled Bollywood b4 India banned them . Oh btw Bollywood has a disease of copying Pakistani songs & guess what they copied this too in Bollywood movie too
Very good and natural reaction! I would love to see you react on Coke Studio Season 9, "Rang" by Amjid Sabri & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. I am sure this one will really impress you. Hope you do this one very soon. I m subscribing to your channel and will anxiously await your reaction on this one.
