Black Coffee 'Khwabon Mein' feat. Abbas Ali, Omran, Sara & Imam with Gumby

Amazing romantic theme by great musicians.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, The Legend, and Michael Brook. It doesn't matter for you to understand the lyrics of this song, but the intensity, the pureness, the mentality, the spiritual feeling you get, is priceless.

NFAK & Michael Brook - My Comfort Remains

Introducing the world to our rich music, presented as the official soundtrack for the Pakistan Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020, here’s Lala-e-Sehrai for Pakistan.
 
This soundtrack is a contemporary adaptation to four distinct musical styles of Pakistan, highlighting the timelessness of our musical heritage. The track in its final form depicts a journey from classical, to folk and then Qawali. The traditional afternoon Raag Bhimplasi performed by Ali Akber, makes its way to Thari folk sounds drawn from the Tharparkar region, delivered by legendary Mai Dhai of Sindh, reaching a devotional hiatus featuring Ali Akber and Zain Zohaib Qawal. The track closes with the sounds of Pakistan; the motherland; its natural heritage from North to South, the cold mountain winds, ever-changing sky and renewed sea. The journey is encapsulated by the cloud-like vocals of Wajiha Naqvi and Zara Madani, and the recitation of Allama Iqbal by Arif Bahalim.

Dark post-pop meets mystic muse, Arooj Aftab's Bird Under Water undulates and scintillates. A masterful expression of lyrical and acoustic soul tripped out through analog voltage and experimental digital filters.

Rasm-e-Ulfat (OST Devi)

Wonderful to have the chance to rework this amazing Nusrat track.

Bethe Bethe Kese Kese - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan/Gaudi (Bombay Dub Orchestra Remix)

We are 3 minds, hearts and bodies linked in a chain of melodies and grooves we've made to soothe us, and bring us peace and freedom in a world full of confusion.  We came together somehow by chance in the city of angels, and are ever grateful to the few fine ones who knew we would love each other's ideas and aesthetics, and watched our brief introductions turn into rainbows.  Music is our pastime, our future, and our passage into the now.  The words "Lal Meri" convey a great adoration, affection and belief to inspire a people to smile through the best and most troubled of times, much like we are seeing and in need of today.  We only hope that these songs will spill over your senses and fill your hearts with love.  Thank you for you, and for listening.

Rainbow

Lal Meri
