PAKISTANI Music Special|Strings,Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Zain Zohaib,Abdullah Siddiqui,Noori,Jal,Momina 

As an Indian I appreciate the symbolism of using green and white to represent my neighbour country Pakistan. 🇮🇳♥️🇵🇰

Strings was one of the most successful band of south Asia for 33 years. They have produced coke studio from season 7 to 10.

Glad you finally heard Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch. She is an extremely powerful and gifted singer

I am Indian and I love Pakistani singers very much..Ali Sethi, Nabeel Saukat Ali, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen, Atif Aslam, Momina Mustehsan, Aima Baig, Shafqat amanat ali, Asim Azhar, Shuja Haider,..etc. are my favourite singer...And I also love Coke studuo music so much...I am addicted to New season 14 of Coke studio music.. ❤️❤️❤️

2:06:37 Atif was part of the band in the beginning then he left. Later, Farhan Saeed joined as the lead singer. Jal was one of the greatest bands in South Asia. Their Album Boondh was major hit in India. The song you reacted to was also uploaded on an Indian music label. They were also featured in various Indian news channels but later Farhan Saeed also left the band to pursue a solo career and that was the end of an era. He later started acting and now he is one of the best actor in industry.

Y'all gotta check out more Ali Sethi. His work is so underappreciated. He is the male vocalist from Pasoori and he has other coke studio songs and his personal RU-vid channel has some amazing songs as well

Abdullah siddiqui is the very young English singer of pakistan also he is the music producer of coke studio latest season season 14 and he sung a song "go" with atif aslam in this season. He is 24 years old musician, singer and producer ❤❤

Fun fact: CS 14 is produced by the same guy , Xulfi , who was behind Nescafe basement. And Abdullah Siddique, the singer of Resistance, is composing music for CS14 with other composers

My fave pakistani dramas: zara yaad kar, Zindagi Gulzar hy, sheh re zaat, Humsafar, diyar e Dil, sinfe ahan, ranjha ranjha kardi, meri zaat zara e bay nishan and oh so many more

There is no restriction in pakistan for women to cover or not.its something very personal to girls.its not like the girls who cover are more religious and others not.its self preference.but yes ones family traditions and ethical backgrounds may have impact but not always.

You guys have still not reacted to the best from COKE STUDIO PAKISTAN "RUNG" By Rahat fateh ali khan and Amjad Sabri plzzz react to it ....

"asim azhar" is also a very young singer and music producer of pakistan he did so many ost's he also give songs to bollywood as well and he has the band with very famous and big musician's most of the musician's he has in band is from coke studio ❤❤❤❤

Hi guys ... Let me tell you one thing .... I'm not a person who sits up and watch any live podcasts for long time..... Today first time watched yours it was sooooooo entertaining and fun you guys made me engaged through the whole podcast... Listening music from all over the world. And on a chat page with people from all over..... It was definitely a blast....... Had great fun today thank you so much ... Waiting for next podcast... I love you both so much 🤩🤩😘🥰😍🤩

It depends on to the woman herself , if she wants to wear a scarf she may choose to do so, if someone one to only show their eyes, they may choose to do so and some may want to have their hair out .

Guys you still missed ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (greatest of all time) , he's uncle and teacher of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. You guys must react to his live performances , if there copyright issues then do it off camera but you must listen to him and we would like to hear your views.

Also the process you spoke about with Thagyan is on point!! Qawwali starts off slow and over 15-20 minutes the singers will have taken the audience to a massive crescendo. They condensed that technique and combined with modern elements resulting in a wonderful track imo

Parizad , zindgi gulzar haye , yakeen ka safar , hamsafar are the super duper hit dramas

Some of the best OSTs you can check: Khani (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan) Hamsafar (Qurat ul Ain Baloch or QB) Sheher e Zaat (Abida Perveen) Man mayal (Qurat ul Ain Baloch or QB) Alif (Momina Mustehsan and Shuja Haider) Dayar e Dil (Zaib Bangash) Baghi (Shuja Haider) Mere Pas Tum Ho (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan) Parizaad (Asrar Shah) Pehli Si Muhabbat (Ali Zafar) Sang e Mah (Atif Aslam's first drama OST) Do Bol (Nabeel Shaukat Ali) Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay Bol Kaffara OST (Copied and destroyed by Jubin Nautiyal) Dhani OST

Basically for Muslims, modesty is a very important part so it's a bit of a touchy subject for some people but every one has their own interpretation and beliefe on how to do it so you'll see Muslim women dressed In different levels of covering

I thought I’d answer your question about why people especially women dress differently in Pakistan. You are right that sometimes it is the occasion which dictates the clothing (such as prayer time) but mostly the difference comes from the sub-culture the person is from. In Pakistan unlike in most western countries (but perhaps similar to other Muslim and eastern countries) people vary widely in their sub-culture to the point that we have different local languages and were it not for Urdu and English (our national languages) we wouldn’t be able to understand each other. But the issue of attire goes deeper because even people from the same city or living in the same area could dress quite differently. One thing which determines this is the religiosity of the family a more traditional and religious family will dress with more traditional clothes and religious attire. Even in the religious attire there are various levels for example some women will only wear a headscarf (which can show some hair) others would wear a hijab (which wouldn’t show any hair but will show their full face) but others would wear a nikaab (which would only show their eyes) and even some would wear a full burka (which would cover them from head to toe and they can only see through holes in the cloth). More westernised people would dress very western with women wearing no head scarf just a neck scarf or sometimes wearing pants and shirts etc. So all in all the person’s attire depends on a number of factors i.e. degree of religiosity, traditionality, locality (city, village, affluent newer areas, old inner city areas etc.) education, westernisation and socio-economic standing.

Came here just for Jal. My favorite pak band of all time.

guys my reccomendation for THE BEST PAKISTANI MOVIE would be PARVAAZ HAI JANOON it was a huge hit and is one of the best movies produced [ this movie also great songs by atif aslam]

Finally you've done a podcast on Pakistani music after such a long time. You need to react to "Junoon" band and Ali Azmat's solo album. 90's and early 2000's Pakistani bands were extremely famous throughout subcontinent. Please react to "Na Re Na" and "Garaj Baras" originals by Ali Azmat.

U should go for the song “ankhon k sagar” by shafqat amanat ali, “Tum naraz ho” by sajjad ali in coke studio, “Khamaj” by shafqat amanat ali, “Kaho ek din” by ahmed Jahanzaib, “Anjaane” by strings You will love all the song… its request please on these songs

FYI turbans are worn for religious and/or cultural significance by Muslims too. Also holy shit you pronounced QBs name perfectly. “Haal” means condition. He’s basically saying “my condition has been horrible”. The script you see is Urdu, shared an alphabet with Arabic so they look nearly identical and yes, they’re read right to left. The translation you’re seeing is not word for word

If you want to listen to more of Noori, you can listen to Coke Studio "Par Channa De" Also, Atif Aslam's Coke Studio "Jal Pari" is wonderful

The 3rd song: Thagyan is in actuality the Qawali genre and that's the richest genre from PK and the real Legend of Qawali is: Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who actually taught his Nephew, I believe, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. So The Pure Gold of Sufi Classical Music is Qawalli, especially any from Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan!

I was waiting for it since months. So happppyyyyyyy 😭❤

Used to listen songs from 'Jal the band' in my school days here in India. I m old.🙄

Thank You for reacting to Sajni - Jal the band. This song was my gateway to magical world of Pakistani Music during my schooldays. Edit : And yes Atif Aslam started off with Jal and he was the lead vocalist and gave initial commercial hits like "Aadat" and "Woh Lamhey" in 2003, (You must definitely check those out !!) and after his split from the band at the end of the year he featured songs he wrote in his solo album, and they got so famous in the South Asian peninsula that he was called to India to feature those songs in Bollywood movies "Aadat" in Kalyug 2005 and "Woh Lamhey" in Zeher 2005 and that's how a legend was born and the rest is history.

Abdullah Siddiqui's Go with Atif Aslam in Coke Studio season 14 is even better...a must react...Abdullah was also assistant producer for a few of CS14 songs

Finally, Tera Woh Pyaar gets the love it deserves ❤️❤️❤️

You have missed out "Go" song of Coke Studio Season 14 by Atif Aslam and Abdullah Siddiqui. Probably best of the season.

Holy Shit, didnt know Pakistanis could sing so well in Punjabi. I mean I know that a part of Punjab is in Pakistan too but the fusion of Urdu and Punjabi slaps fcking hard👏

Congratulations to Pakistan for such a great music 🔥

Oh man there’s so much more for you guys to explore!!! I think you guys would love yaar vekho, kangna, sawaal kande utte. They’re spectacular and completely underrated

Sab jag soye, banware, kadi ao ni, khaki Banda... Some recs for older coke studio seasons

From India but love ATIF ASLAM and RAHAT FATEH ALI KHAN. Beautiful singers🤌🏻. Need them back here🥹

In Jal, Atif was one of the founding members with the guitarist Goher but then Atif left due to conflict with Goher and Farhan became vocalist of the band. Farhan has one of my favorite voices, it will be great if you included him in the next ones. So glad u liked Sajni though. it's a banger for sure By the way, the drummer you saw in the earlier season's coke studio video is the guy who played drums on the jal song recording.

pakistani OST are absolute on another level, please do reacts

The drummer Efra mentioned is Ahad Niyani. He is a master of his craft and to see him shine, you have to listen to Laal Meri Pat by Quratulain from Coke Studio. Trust me, Efra, you'll particularly love it.

Yaayyyyy let's gooo

I was going to sleep when I saw the notification. Wish me luck as have my test tomorrow (College).

Pakistani dramas are major hit and the Drama ost you listen basically break all records of Pakistani dramas.... You guys can easily watch Pakistani dramas on RU-vid..... Please react to more Pakistani dramaa Ost there are soo soo many more

Yayyy finally 🇵🇰❤️ Abdullah Siddiqui and xulfi producers of coke studio season 14 ❤️ please react to all songs of this season 🇵🇰 also check out nescafe songs..( mehbooba ) ( jaagna tw parega ) (bol hu ) and also abdullah Siddiqui's song ...be myself ❤️

You should definitely check out the magical journey of the songs on Coke studio. They are the behind the scene where we see the whole process of melodies and the shoot of the song. It's brilliant. And you will definitely enjoy it.. Definitely check it out for Thagyan.

Asim Azhar is a great singer. These are one of his songs that I love. "Jo tu na Mila" "Humraah" a Bollywood song by him And OST of "Ishqiya" drama serial

Finally someone reacted to string and jal ♥️♥️

Parizad and Mere pass tum hu Available on youtube with subtitle These are the best drama from Pakistan

"khuda aur mohabbat" drama series is the most watched and loved by the Asian countries ❤❤

The Pakistani film industry is not very big but our drama is very popular and the success of our drama is due to its good story, excellent acting and awesome music. Our musicians and singers have the potential to beat any of the biggest industries in the world. You have just seen a drop of this ocean of Pakistani ​​music, sir…..❤️شکر الحمد للّٰہ ❤️

both members of Strings parted ways on this day (25 march) last year, end of an era,,, I still miss them,,, too much nostalgia is associated with their songs, wish they could give us a good bye concert. And maybe you are right that drum in the strings song sounds like sampled drum or more like a produced from launch pad or something, which was pretty famous in that era specially in Indo-Pak . I really enjoy your reviews , because you both know music, and alot to learn from your conversations, thank you

You can watch "alif", as well as "Alif Allah aur Insan" they are good,

Aik Alif song is a great depiction a full day if you listen to their vocals closely, vocals of the song first goes through sun rise phase then afternoon part then evening part and then the night part and it ends there. Vocals here represent the mood of a normal day, a normal person experience from sunrise to sunset. Luv doing this together with u guys. Bye and stay safe u guys☺️

We girls in Pakistan have liberty to wear what we want. At least, most of the girls (97% being Muslim majority). What I mean is that there is no restriction by govt or state to impose hijab or covering up. But some people do cover up while some don't. It's either a personal choice or depends on the area/family traditions.

as a pakistan, Man you guys are geniuses at breaking down different cultures and music, im blown away with both of your insights and intelligence, Bravo me amigos!

YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH 'MERE PAAS TUM HO'....rahat fateh ali khan has sung its ost as well and it has a remake in india too...it has a quite grasping story

You have missed Arooj Aftab here..she has also been nominated for Best New Artist and Best Global Music Performance at the 2022 GRAMMY Awards. Her album vulture prince just magical.Please react to the song 'Mohabbat', the song that Ex US President Barack Obama had listed as one of his summer playlist favourites for 2021.

Awesome reaction :) about OST of khuda or Muhabbat ... your guess was 100% correct . The guy loved the girl and the girl was stuck in rich funeral family , that took the hope from the guy and ge went A mazaar/Muslim temple where people mostly spend time in prayers to achieve, unachieved .. it was hit serial and mega hit OSt by Boss Rahat Fateh Ali. Love your reactions . And sending love from Pakistan ..

Your interpretation of Khuda aur Muhabt is so on point girl😯❤

If one song you could do from initial seasons of Coke Studio would be Garaj Baras by Rahat Fateh. Or Ali Azmat’s Na re Na from 2000s. Thanks

If you even wanna watch some Pakistani drama, I will recommend watching "Mere Pass Tum Ho", its 24 episodes 40 min each and available on RU-vid. Its one of the best pieces of writing and The Best Television show I have ever seen. So much so, that once i finished it watching, my heart remained restless for many more days looking for something more like it. Also, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sang the OST for that show as well.

Guys, please watch Hor Vi Neevan Ho and Par Channa Ve by Noori. I think their performances are one of the best in the history of Coke Studio.

It seems the Podcast was blocked and Unfortunately the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan OST had to be edited out :( Glad the podcast is back up however!

Pakistan is a land of saints...so it's obvious that you ll find deep lyrics, poetry nd verses as they have set the bar high when it comes to human philosophy of being human nd faith nd love nd offcourse about the relationship of mankind with God...they just have another level of understanding nd philosophies about all this

Yahh finally!!! Thank you for the reaction. It was great. You should really react to GO FROM COKE STUDIO season 14 by Abdullah Siddique and Atif Aslam. Also if u wanna watch the back story and all the process u should watch the coke studio magical journey.

Common guys it's high time for a podcast on pakistani rock music too.

The first song DURR done by the band STRINGS. Also the last song TERA WOH PYAAR is produced & directed by the same (band) STRINGS.

As non Pakistani i am always in awe of how far their practices are from true islam , so i wont take what they do as true islam.

Yessss thank u so much guys love from pakistan

I'm so glad that you guys reacted to an older Coke Studio song and loved it; I think people got so excited by the new season (which I love too!) that people kind of forget about how beautiful and sincere and, as you said, organic, the earlier seasons are. I hope this inspires you to keep digging into the CS archives! There are so many gems in there. And like you said, the imperfections make it beautiful.

Pakistan drama OSTs are amazing. You guys should react to some more. you will be really amazed.

Yayy 💓 But you missed aima again🥲🥲

I’m so taken aback with this podcast. I watched it in its entirety. So glad that you included the songs that you did but I do feel like making you a list of Pakistani songs showing evolution of music through the eyes of an average person like mine. Strings are the best thing to happen to Pakistani music after Nazia/Zoheb Hassan and Vital Signs. Xulfi, Abdullah Siddiqui and talents such as Karakoram, Young Stunners are the present and future. Osts are a totally different subject - they have some awesome ones in them too but there’s no consistency in them.

Pakistani dramas are all over here rather than movies

You interpretation of how the melody sounds upsetting is so good! It hits spot on in Urdu “bura haal/upset”

I have listened to these songs countless times. Yet, the perspective I got today after your discussion is just next level. Thanks for sharing this reaction video. By the way, the actress with beautiful eyes in the second song (Khuda aur Mobabbat) is Iqra Aziz. Last, but not least, listening to your song was really nice. Way to go, guys. Thank you!

Abdullah Siddiqui is awesome. He co-produced with Xulfi Coke Studio 14. You must check out Gulon mein rang bhare by Ali Sethi. Also the last song of coke studio 14 - String`s Faisal Kapadia is awesome along with the Young Stunners - what a great way to finish the season.

Pakistani drama serials are out of this world most of them are really popular in India

The 1st song by Strings.... One of their tracks was official soundtrack of the spiderman album.

Atif Aslam was part of the original JAL band but they split up due to some personal issues and each member started their individual careers, Atif being the most famous.

I have been waiting for your reaction to Pakistani singers part 2 for a while now and here it is!!!!!!!!! Keep it up guys!! Love you both and lots of love from Pakistan💕🇵🇰

You guys are so knowledgeable about music! Love it!

When will you hear ( rang) by coke studio then you will come to know what is music

The spiritual aspect to the Pakistani music that you mentioned is actually a sub genre of music, its called Sufi music. It’s actually from the time of Persian/Mughal rule centuries ago.

Old coke studio was the best. Please listen to Kuch hai by Mizraab, Saari Raat by Noori, Panchi by Jal and QB, Garaj Baras by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. They're all hidden gems

Yes Atif's fame skyrocketed with his first song Aadat, which was produced by Jal (Atif and Gohar being the masterminds). But then they split even before releasig the first album due to a dispute between the two. They both produced their first Albums (Atif as solo) with almost half of the songs being common.

You guys are so bright, especially the girl. You truly are into your passion of music. Love from Pakistan.

Strings 😭😭😭❤❤❤

Khuda or muhabbat , sajni, tera woh pyar , resistance , thagyan 👌👌👌

Please rect OST pari zad song

expecting much more OST(original soundtrack) from different dramas of Pakistan next Friday:)

Strings band my childhood friend Time files memories remain Love from kashmir

It is really fun to hear your precious thought even you guys are very young. U have really great information about word music. I wish to sit down with u guys with a cup of coffee and try to answer of your questions about Pakistani Music. Thank you

Please check out Pasoori of Ali Sethi, coke studio season 14!!

You guys should do a rock songs from Pakistan podcast as well. There are sone great rock bands and songs from this region. Something which Efra should watch being a drummer is "Call the band - Pakistan Zindabad". Its a tribute to the drummers of Pakistan.

Strings the beautiful Era with this band Love from kashmir ❤

Same Abdullah Siddiqui is now associate producer on Coke studio season 14 (on all the songs you have reacted from season 14). React to his song GO from season 14 next. Xulfi was the main producer behind Nescafe basement who is now the main producer behind Coke studio (season 14).

The covering up is part of the religion and culture and those observant wear it, the secular ones do not wear it but its a covenient between you and God and being religious and modest the head covering is required by religion some follow it some dont, only God can judge
