An idea: Coke Studio Pakistan is so popular that you don’t even have to take random requests for it. You can literally start from season 1 and work your way upto season 12 and I won’t be surprised if you cross a 100K subscriber mark at the end (or more), since almost every song has reasonable fan-following.
John....I am an Indian woman who has lived in America for more than 30 years. Hate is getting worse here. Indians and Pakistanis are lovers of music and if you show love to our music we reciprocate with love.....you keep doing what you do. You are amazing.....yes we need more love in this troubled time.
You are right they are cousins and both were groomed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Rahat is more successful as an artist as he adapted himself to the times while Moazzam is more close to the old style and much more similar to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Well Spotted
another interesting fact for you Cameron! Season 6 was recorded in a completely different way/level. every artist was recorded separately at a separate time and was merged afterward accordingly. It was a huge task to do in that way and record foreign artists as well. This idea helped Rohail Hyatt in COVID times and he managed to give a beautiful season in a similar way, when there was no hope of music in covid.
Salute to rohail hayat ustad-e-mohtaram he's the creator & he's the God! of music the one who introduced coke studio, living legend. hats off to your awesome reactions john keep it up.
Yes John, Muazzam Ali Khan is the cousin of Rahat Ali Khan, also nephew of the legend, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Their father was Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan, brother of NFAK. Muazaam been performing with his brother Rizwan as Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali Group since the late 1990s. They played their first major concert in 1998 at the Womad Rivermead festival in Reading, England. Please react to "Miyan Ki Malhar" from Coke Studio Season 6. Hands down the best season of Coke Studio for me. Coke Studio season 1 to season 6 were produced/composed by legend Rohail Hayyat. Then he returned from Season 11 onwards recently out Season 12. From Season 7 to Season 10 it was produced by a Pakistani band "Strings" & various other composers.
John this a Rohail Hyatt production.Ali Azmat was lead singer for a famous band called Junoon here in Pk.The two sided hung around the shoulders drums are called"Dhols".The orchestra was located in Serbia and the other performers were in Pk.You want to react to Ali Azmat "Rangeela"and Atif Aslams "Channa"......
This song tells a folk story when the girl drowned in the river as she used to cross the river by holding the fire burnt clay pot. But this time the hatter replaced the pot with unburnt pot that melted away as she was cossing the river. The chaos in the ending part of the song was the moment the singers tried expression as the girl drown. Plus the pot also tells the girl to recognize him that I am "casha" meaning soft . And this time we both will drown. The girl never cossed the river and the lover kept waiting "by the river"
John... 1: whoever recommended you this..I’d keep an eye on his future recommendations as well.. 2: Ali Azmat is the Bono of Pakistan..the OG of Rock music..and yeah I’m sure many must’ve told you Moazam’s the cousin of Rabat and nephew of the legendary Nusrat .. Keep rocking
There's a folk lore that Sohni(lady) used to use her clay pot to cross the river while hanging to it to meet her lover across the river... Her jealous cousin changed her clay pot with a raw one which resulted in her death when she drowned in the middle of the river since it was a raw pot. Muhammad right here is singing the conversation between her clay pot and herself how she's relying on the pot to help her cross the river while clay pot is asking her to look carefully since its weak and the tides are high. Beautiful Check the lyrics
"dholak" or "dholaki" is the name of that tabla-like instrument. These are smaller version played with both hands while their larger bigger version can be seen at the start of that "rythem" at around 4:016:31 is called "Dhoal" and is played with the sticks in both hands very loud
Please also react to Naina de Aakhay by Coke Studio. You'd love that if you loved this. Both are sung by the same singer ❤️ and that song is amazing and so underrated
I would recommend Ali Azmat's performance outside Coke Studio as well .. He was the vocalist of THE most popular and influential rock band of the Subcontinent the "Junoon".. They had an amazing mix between eastern and western styles of music and inspired a whole generation of Pakistani musicians to experiment with fusion music.. I would love it if you listen to "Ghoom" and "Sayyoni" by Junoon.. Thank you!
Ali Azmat was part of Pakistan's most popular rock band Junoon with Salman Ahmad and Brian.. They gave some outstanding tracks in 1990's and 2000's.. He is also an enthusiastic biker and often goes traveling across Pakistan with friends
My god I was listening to this song just today hoping you'd react to it, and yes they are RELATED. Muazzam Ali Khan is nephew of Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali khan and they're both cousins. Amazing reaction ❤️ You should also react to Garaj Baras Coke Studio Season 1. It's an old underrated gem
OMG after watching 1st reaction before , I was about to suggest to you this master piece He is nephew or NUSRAT FETEH ALI KHAN, and cousine of RAHAT , They are from same family This man is master and there person who start the song is KNOW JUNOON band is ALI AZMAT Love from Lahore Pakistan
The drum played on both ends is called dholak in Urdu. Its very commonly used to play drums in folk songs. Thank you for your beautiful reaction to this incredible song.
Very good John. You are beginning to learn the intricacies of Pakistani music. Well, I have a request for you to react on Coke Studio’s Charkha Nolakha. The song has everything going in it from Atif Aslam sultry tone to deep and throw in Led Zeppelin Kashmir mix. Thank you!
reacting and really understanding this gem of an underrated track explains everything about your music taste. glad one could enjoy this to the purest of its essence. listen to this track in a mood and it will hit you different. concentrate on lyrics of both singers and seek answers of Ali Azmat's questions in later part of the song.
Moazzam AK and Rizwan AK are brothers and originally trained in classical and qawwali. Their grandfather Mubarak Ali Khan was an uncle of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and taught Nusrat the art of qawwali vocal music. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is the nephew of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who is also RFAK's teacher and mentor in music. So yeah same family tree.
Love n support from Pakistan.....please make video about the beauty landscapes of Pakistan.... tourism is not completed without visiting Pakistan.... heaven for the tourists...🌹🙏❤🇵🇰👍🏻📿🤲🌹🌹🌹👍🏻
Love your reactions how you note the craftsmanship of the musical craftsmen is worth watching. The instrument you are talking about is called "Dholki" its a wooden barrel enclosed with the goat skin on the drumhead. Regarding Muazam Ali Khan he is the nephew of great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and cousin of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Lots of love man! I know you've your Texas 🤠 to chose for you but if any exceptions due react to Naina Moray - Cokestudio, believe me there is no better Cokestudio production then it and the composition the vocals and specially the instruments used in the performance would mesmerize you.
You are right this is one of my favorite song due to that rhythm you noticed and mentioned in this reaction. Rhythm flow and transitions are the speciality of Pakistani music.
Man every time I see your video thumbnail saying you are reacting old coke studio song, I say yes let's check that out cz reaction on old CS songs are rare :P btw your reaction at the beginning of the second part of the song says it all. Well here is my recommendation for you to react on Moray Naina from Coke Studio 6 an underrated gem
Thanks John for the incredible recommendations... My YT feed is full of big artists like One Republic, Coldplay but this little treasures hidden on TH-cam are hard to find. Thanks for letting us know.
1. "Gal Sunn" from coke studio season 2020 2. "Tutteya Ve" from coke studio 2020 3. "Jugni" from coke studio 4. "Larger than Life" from Nescafe Basement 5. "Rabba Ho" from coke studio season 6 6. "Channa" from coke studio season 6
In the comments of your reaction video of rang, I suggested/requested to do reaction of this gem. But i also knew this video will not get so many requests and the only way you could ever end up reacting to this was a lucky draw 😁 Love this idea. And yes i was the person who said its a fusion. All the fans of this beautiful song will be happy after seeing this reaction. 👍
That elongated two sided drum is called dholak or dholki. Very folksy and one of the oldest form of drums, something which almost 1 in 10 women also know how to play in India and Pakistan. I play dholki myself and learnt it at an early age from my aunt and I have taught my American born and raised daughter to play it too.
Finally, you reacted to one of my suggested song. Im so glad 😊 now react on the other 2 and the whole coke studio journey would be completed. You have already reacted to my 2 favs from coke studio, "Sari Raat" and "Sawaal"... now please react on -"Charkha Naulkha" by Atif Aslam n Qayas band & -" Garaj Baras" by Ali Azmat n Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
yes he is Moazzam Ali Khan Another nephew of Ustad Nusrat Fathe Ali Khan and Cusine of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Physically he could be resembled as His Uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I just realised you’re the first one to react to this song. Good on ya ... could you please react to Naina morey by coke studio. Trust me you will love it.
Yes John, they both are cousins. He did not get as much shine as Rahat but he is no way less than him infact I rate him as his equal and in some ways better than Rahat. You should check out 'Naina dey Aakhey - Coke Studio' and can judge by yourself :)
Yeah Moazzam and Rahat are both related. Don't really know the exact relation. The two-sided instrument is "dholki", played with hands while the one played with sticks is "dhol".

Fully agree with you Jennifer.
Jennifer, I am a cosmopolitan who doesn't care for ANY notion of nationalism, and I agree with you fully.
You are right they are cousins and both were groomed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Rahat is more successful as an artist as he adapted himself to the times while Moazzam is more close to the old style and much more similar to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Well Spotted
Yes they are cousins...related to the Musical Colossus, NFAK!!!

O Bhai ye covid se pehle ka season Hai
that instrument when it is small in size is called "Dholki" but when it is big that is called "Dhol"
You should jump straight to Mian Ki Malhar from the same season for a musical treat. Simply put its a rain song ending with a thunderstorm.
yes yes plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :P is there any way I can like this comment 100 times so that it comes under his notice xD
Yes and also Megh from Season 13
This stuff goes 4000 years back. No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . love from Indianapolis and Karachi

The two sided drum is called "Dholki" it also comes in a bit bigger size called "Dhol"
Ali Azmat was a lead singer of famous sufi rock band " Junoon". This band had also performed live in united nations assembly hall in 2001.

That drum has a few names, you can call it dhol, dholak, dholki depending on which part of the country you are on.
Season 6 was one of its kind, different from other seasons, where musicians from other countries played instruments.
John... 1: whoever recommended you this..I’d keep an eye on his future recommendations as well.. 2: Ali Azmat is the Bono of Pakistan..the OG of Rock music..and yeah I’m sure many must’ve told you Moazam’s the cousin of Rabat and nephew of the legendary Nusrat ..
Keep rocking
Bono is a grossly overrated opportunist. Ali Azmat has substance and character. So, I'm not sure whether the analogy was apt.
There's a folk lore that Sohni(lady) used to use her clay pot to cross the river while hanging to it to meet her lover across the river... Her jealous cousin changed her clay pot with a raw one which resulted in her death when she drowned in the middle of the river since it was a raw pot.
Muhammad right here is singing the conversation between her clay pot and herself how she's relying on the pot to help her cross the river while clay pot is asking her to look carefully since its weak and the tides are high.
Beautiful
Check the lyrics
That instrument is called the Dholak, and Moazzam Ali Khan is Nusrat Fateh Ali's nephew.
Rabba Ho... Coke Studio season 6...
Both Rahat and Moazzam are related to the Maestro Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali khan. He himslef trained them on classical which can begin very early in age.
Dhol : that's this drum. Played mostly in folk music, and yes, during all weddings.
"dholak" or "dholaki" is the name of that tabla-like instrument. These are smaller version played with both hands while their larger bigger version can be seen at the start of that "rythem" at around 4:01 6:31 is called "Dhoal" and is played with the sticks in both hands very loud
You got it right Sir the guy who was Qawwal MOAZZAM Ali Khan he is the nephew of USTAD NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN uncle of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan .
Please also react to Naina de Aakhay by Coke Studio. You'd love that if you loved this. Both are sung by the same singer ❤️ and that song is amazing and so underrated
The singer Ali Azmet has been in rock bands since he was 18
I would recommend Ali Azmat's performance outside Coke Studio as well .. He was the vocalist of THE most popular and influential rock band of the Subcontinent the "Junoon"..
