Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Nazia Hassan, Vital Signs, Junoon and Alamgir are such names who resuscitated the music industry of Pakistan with their spellbound, magical, and intoxicating music.
But now a days, since the modernization of music (the new trend of hip-hops and other kinda weird music); we trend to forget what those pioneers had in ‘it’ themselves and what made them earn so much respect in the entire world above everything else. Shockingly, though, Alamgir is the only big name whom we’ve all seem to forgotten.
His passion for bringing in and delivering music to Pakistan was ever-lasting and his enchanting music is something to remember for ages to come. He certainly emerged as one of the top-pioneers of pop-music in Pakistan.
Hadiqa Kiyani, the most popular female singer of Pakistan, is currently busy in humanitarian work as she is looking forward to construct housing facilities for the flood victims.
After making her mark in the music industry with everlasting songs such as Dupatta, Boohey Barian, and Jaanan, Hadiqa is all set to construct approx. 150 houses in the flood affected areas of Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
“MASHALLAH [with the grace of Almighty], I have constructed 50 houses at a place called ‘Mian Esa’ which is situated right ahead of Nowshera,” said an excited-looking Hadiqa Kiyani. “And now, with the help of Army, I plan to construct approximately 150 houses in ‘Banda Ismail Shaikh’ and ‘Banda Mala Khel’ which are situated right ahead of Pabbi’.” (more…)
I was driving alone one evening when I heard a few Pakistani songs from some 90′s era on a radio channel and this is the reason why I am writing this article. 80′s & 90′s was surely the best era for the Pakistani music; experiencing artists like the Vital signs, Junoon, Strings, Awaaz, Hasan Jahangir, Nazia &...
Heart can only be touched with love. And anyone who can touch your heart becomes a great person. Nazia Hassan was one such individual. She was born to Mr. Basir Hassan and Mrs. Munizeh Basir on 3rd April 1965. During her teenage years, she showed interest in singing and immediately started stealing the hearts of people with her mesmerizing voice and charming personality. Success began to follow her at the age of just fifteen when she provided vocals for the song Aap Jaisa Koi for Feroz Khan’s movie Qurbani – a movie that later went on to became the biggest hit of the 1980 year. Her song Aap Jaisa Koi gained her fans not only in Pakistan but across the globe as well, and she was also awarded the glorious Filmfare award for it.
Nazia Hassan started her pop-singing career with albums such as Disco Deewane, Young Tarang, Hotline, and Camera Camera. She died of lung cancer on 13th August 2000 at the age of 35. It’s been 10 years since we lost this legendary person but it still seems unreal after listening to her soothing voice. We – the PakiUM staff – pay tribute to the beautiful and graceful queen of disco, Nazia Hassan.

Pakistani Musicians crossing the border to lend their voice for a song or two in India isn’t a new story at all. Back in the day Nazia Hassan and Zohaib made the music of Disco Deewane rocking success and since then this has become a trend.
