June 28th 2009 witnessed the voyage into Episode 2 or HARMONY across 15 television channels and numerous radio stations nationwide. Back at the studio we looked to bring you music that is the bridge that connects people: To witness individuals coming together to create a common ground that is in harmony with itself and each other.
We watched and heard Ali Zafar, returning as the most popular act from season one: His song 'Dastaan e Ishq', is inspired by Saeein Zahoor's classic Nachna Painda Hai, and although composed by Ali Zafar in collaboration with Baqir Abbas, is solidly rooted in traditional folk music. This performance by Ali Zafar is a musical and lyrical tribute to the diverse appeal and versatility of classic folk tunes and the great sufi poets of this region.
Sharing his thoughts on guest musician Baqir Abbas, Ali Zafar says, "Baqir Abbas has always been a great support and a magical flute player. His participation brought much more than I had expected. If my set is appreciated and taken well by the audience I think I should be last person to give credit to."
Our second session also welcomed JoSH to the platform with the Coke Studio house band in their soulful melody 'Jaaney Do'. In a sense, JoSH itself represents the quintessence of 'Harmony' with both Q and Rup representing two distinct cultures: they both draw upon the best of their backgrounds to make music that is indeed in accord with itself.
'Harmony' also introduced the unique pairing of classic maestro Riaz Ali Khan with contemporary star Atif Aslam in a brand new rendition of Atif's 'Kinara'. Behind the scenes Atif and Riaz Sahib were both very vocal in praise of one another and on stage the rapport is heart-warming. Flowing seamlessly from a contemporary melody to the legendary "Man Kunto Maula" and on to a smooth, transitional 'tarana' on
