    An old music video by Hareem Shah resurfaces

    Pakistani TikTok sensation Hareem Shah has stolen the spotlight once again. She dropped a music video titled ‘Nakhray Baaz’ on twitter. 

    Hareem, originally named Fiza Hussain, was seen in the video singing and posing alongside Sandal Khattak and rapper Aash Chughtai.

    Almost every video of the TikTok star goes viral but she got famous when one of her videos started doing the rounds on the internet where she could be seen roaming around the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    Her father had earlier also issued a video statement expressing his displeasure and saying: “May Allah accept my sacrifice and forgive my mistakes.”

  • Amjad Sabri features in Coldplay’s latest album

    Amjad Sabri features in Coldplay’s latest album

    British band Coldplay has released a new album titled Everyday Life and it features the late qawwal Amjad Sabri.

    In an interview with Entercom, the band’s lead singer Chris Martin while talking about the second song in the album Church — released as a single — shared the inspiration behind it sharing that the band have incorporated samples from Sabri’s hit track Jaga Ji Laganay into it.

    “There’s two cool other singers on that one. There’s this guy who was a Pakistani singer, called Amjad Sabri. He was sadly murdered by people who didn’t like what he stood for. Then there’s a friend of ours called Norah who is a guy from Jerusalem.”

    Martin described Church as a love song that “fell through the sky,” referring to how the band received inspiration to make a song they think is great.

    Whether Coldplay obtained permission from Sabri’s family to use the track is not known as of yet.

    Meanwhile, Everyday Life has already made it to the top of the Official Album Charts.

  • Parachinar gets its first music academy

    Parachinar gets its first music academy

    Imtiaz Hussain, a folk artist from Boghaki village of Parachinar, has set up conflict-ridden Parachinar’s first music academy.

    The music academy which is the first of its kind in the tribal district will teach the youth how to play musical instruments including the rabab and harmonium, as well as how to sing in the traditional Pashto style. Twenty-eight boys have already enrolled in the academy.

    According to details, Hussain wanted to become a musician himself which is why last August he decided to set this up to encourage others to learn music.

    The academy is being viewed as a sign of peace in the tribal district which has seen sectarian conflict, militancy and scores of suicide attacks in the past decade or so.

    “Music itself brings peace and harmony. A singer or musician is a harmless person and only spreads music,” Hussain said, adding that some level of peace has been achieved in the city.

    Imtiaz shared that the academy currently lacks proper equipment and musical instruments and that he hopes to get help and guidance to improve the academy.

    Though Hussain has faced some resistance from elders who believe that music is forbidden he says that the academy is his passion and he hopes to develop it into a proper music school.
