Rohail Hyatt’s vision has been a major factor – besides Standard Chartered Priority Night and Uth Records – in revolutionizing the music industry of Pakistan. The days of our artists being sidelined by the neighboring entertainment industry were over as Coke Studio opened up with a bang!
And over a period of time, the amazing show that we call “Coke Studio” has produced some of the brightest stars of Pakistan to the entire world. Not only that, it has also helped promoting the music scene of Pakistan like no other.
As of today, Coke Studio has aired three successful seasons, and today we are going to take you back to the second season:
Coke Studio is a Pakistani television series featuring live music performances. The programme originated in Brazil as “Coco Cola Studio”, the programme is owned by Coca Cola.
The program focuses on a fusion of the diverse musical influences in Pakistan, including eastern classical, folk, and contemporary popular music. The show provides a platform for renowned as well as upcoming and less mainstream artists, from various genres, to collaborate musically in live studio recording sessions.
Coke Studio has been popular, receiving critical acclaim and frequently being rebroadcast on television and radio in Pakistan. The official Facebook page of coke studio has over 500,000 fans. (more…)
The classical trained Sufi Singer and ex-lead vocalist of Mekaal Hasan Band – Javed Bashir – has recorded three(3) songs with Indian Composers, reported a Qatar based publication.
Bashir, who recently toured Doha for a couple of sufi oriented events, was welcomed by the Classical Music Listeners. His two back to back performances in Doha Cinema and the Diplomatic Club simply amazed Doha’s audience. In an interview there, Bashir talked about his performance and musical ventures. (more…)
Javed Bashir recently released his album “Subrang”. This is his first solo album after parting from “Mekaal Hasan Band”. The album covers various genres like Pop, Sufi, Classical, etc,. But diving deep into it, does the album does justice to Javed Bashir’s musical image throughout his career? The answer from my perspective is No!! Had he done something more Eastern Classical the album would have still done well. But infusing Pop and going for a fusion did not seem the right thing. (more…)

So the line-up has changed and the news is confirmed, Javed Bashir departs from Mekaal Hasan Band and Asad Abbas – the first Pakistan Sangeet Icon Winner – joins the band as a new vocalist.
It was updated yesterday on the Offical Fan Page of MHB:
Catch MHB live with Asad Abbas tonight on FM 91 from 8pm to 10pm (PST)
Till that time, there was a confusion whether they are featuring any song or etc. But today’s update at the fan page has announced the decision clearly.
Asad Abbas has been selected as the new lead singer for Mekaal Hasan Band! Catch him live on the Moring show on Express News at 8 am on 5th March with Mhb!
There were already rumors surrounding about it but nothing was certain, this announcement by the band has given a “Shock” to the fans and many are not ready to accept this change.
Well, we have seen many break-ups and departures , there are examples of AAROH & FUZON as well. We hope that this will bring some new innovation & dimension to the band’s music, but It must be a positive one and not destructive(and we are sure It won’t)
We – the Team PakiUM – wish Javed Bashir for his solo projects & also to Asad Abbas for his new venture with MHB and also looking forward to this situation very optimistically.
Here are some of the live performances videos by Asad Abbas:

Rabba
