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.

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!

Music and its influence in Pakistan:
We live in a world where the word ‘music’ dominates everything. It is a phenomenon – also an art – which has no boundaries, no languages, no caste, no religions, and no nationality. It helps to connect the minds, hearts, and souls of people. It is a wonderful experience that not only lightens up the mood but also makes us understand the true meaning of love and care with its magical sounds. Music, in other words, is freedom of expression, but in a better way.
“Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.”
Samuel Butler
Pakistan, on the other hand, has produced one of the talented musicians and artists all over the world. From Noor Jehan to Ahmed Rushdi to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to Abida Parveen to Junoon to Vital Signs to Shafqat Amanat Ali… The list would just go on and on and it shows how much music values to Pakistan and its citizens.

Album review: On the right track:
While flicking through TV channels last Sunday afternoon, I came across the video of Shafqat Amanat Ali’s Khairayan De Naal, which is based on a composition by Tufail Niazi. At first glance, judging by the typical video, I expected the song to be one of the run-of-the-mill pieces which mix desi folk or classical vocal compositions with contemporary instruments. Much to my surprise it turned out to be a heartwarming treat. The music production and instruments blended well with his voice quality, the main strength of the song.
