At least us Dubaians can see peace between us. 4 Member band, 2 Pakistanis and 2 Indians.

Drummer and bass/vocals - Indians. Keyboard and Lead Singer/guitarist Pakistani.

Jaago - Dedicated to Peace between Pakistan and India


Furkat - Nice slow song too.

Right click and save. Had the pleasure of holding a jam session, invited them too, an year back. A lot of potential, no doubt in my mind that they'd make it big.

I like the music, reminds me of Judas Priest's "Ripper" at times, but I have no idea what they're saying.

Jaago basically means, "Get up". So he like describes a scenario and then goes like JAAAAAGO!

Furkatt - Means separation/lonliness kinda thing.

Thought you were (partially maybe) Desi? Although none of my American Cuzins know much Urdu either, anyway......

Confed999

Nah, I can barely speak English. Thanks for the info, and it was neat to hear it.

I was at this concert once, with Junoon, Sonu Nigam and Junaid Jamshed. They made a modified version of the Junoon song, Dosti. (Friendship). Oh man that was one ugly ****! Since the original's more like a rock song, and Sonu and Junaid sing soft romantic stuff.

Most Pakistani bands (mostly underground) that are emerging in recent times prefer Rock music, like Noori, EP, etc. Might help organize a concert next year, hopefully I'd be able to get Streben (the Indo-Pak band) a gig there.

That would be a cool job. If the show was decent you would have the satisfaction of knowing you had a hand in making thousands happier. The only think I can think of that would be better, would be millions happier, but that's for if it goes to DVD.

Asim Aquil

lol.... Just in it for the money

Srirangan

No offence but their music is crap. Nationality, spirit, intention, goodwill means nothing, their stuff is crap.

But I think all that means a whole lot. Especially in different contexts'

Confed999

Music is all about opinion. You think it's crap, people that listen to it probably think what you like is crap. With music, it only takes one fan to validate it.

Asim Aquil

Music is in the ear of the beholder?

Anyway, it's not uncommon that most people in the sub-continent do not like this kind of music, heck even Noori, EP and Junoon's not liked much by resident Pakistanis either. They'd prefer, Punjabi bhangras and Indian movie's songs.

But these bands are huge amongst overseas South Asian fans.

Asim,

You must have organised it. Good for you.

Aman, Peace, Shanti.

Asim,

I have heard the first one and I am downloading the second.

A little too loud and so I couldn't make out the words. But then, which modern music is not loud. Young guys love it and they make up the audience and who care about the fuddy duddies?

I appreciate their ethos and their zeal to do everything for Indo Pak Friendship.

I may not contribute to the ethos of the BJP but I appreciate Atal Vajpayee to do his best to promote Indo Pak Friendship.

Long live India and Pakistan. India Pakistan Zindabad.

Srirangan

I agree, but I still think its crap.

I am still listening to Furqat repeatedly. Wonderful, though a trifle Anglicised pronounciation.
