Coke Studio Explorer's latest song Faqeera captures the true essence of Sindh
Wrapped in an ajrak, shooting excited children, livestock roaming free - Ali Hamza and Zohaib Kazi capture the essence of Sindh in the young and raw voices of Shamu Bai and Vishnu.
They've titled the latest episode in the Coke Studio Explorer's mini-series 'Faqeera.'
Shamu’s voice is paired with Vishnu’s warm and humid vocal tones as they drift into the soul-stirring chords of the Benjo, accompanied by a further layer of light electronic beats. The groove of the modern electronic beat follows the ethnic rhythm of the dholak – making ‘Faqeera’ a brand-new take on Sindhi folk.
'Faqeera' has been shot and sung in Dewaan Lal Chand, Sindh and pays homage to the province which imbibes the core musical soul of South Asia.
