Remembering 80s & 90s: The Best Era of Pakistani Music
80’s & 90’s was surely the best era for the Pakistani music; experiencing artists like the Vital signs, Junoon, Strings, Awaaz, Hasan Jahangir, Nazia & Zohaib Hassan, Fakhr-e-Alam and many more…It was the blend of the best which will never be forgotten.
This post is NOT gonna be
‘the best collection’ or
‘the top 10 list’ but rather it would help peeping you back into the 90’s era. Whattay decade it was in terms of
Pakistani Music! Lets start with:
*Disco Deewane!!*
Yes I mean Nazia Hassan, surely an icon for our country. Her tracks received great acclamation worldwide especially in our neighbors and they also made it to different night clubs across India and UK. Check out this song picturised on legendary actress Babra Shareef in a Pakistani movie called Sangdil (1982) featuring Nadeem as a lead actor. If you have watched this Pakistani movie or have loved this song in past, this video will surely bring back old memories to you.
*Hawa Hawa*!!
The “Pop Star” Hasan Jahangir came in with this sensational hit and took many hearts away..The song took him to Bollywood where it received a great response. (I hope we all remember his kingly entrance through a helicopter in a concert).
*Billo De Ghar!!*
How can we forget “Billo”? Pakistan’s pop industry cannot end without Billo being involed..The famous hit by Abrar Ul Haq * Billo K ghar* was a major hit with in the country and did contribute to the local music scene to a great extent. The beat got popular among the young boys at that time!!
*Aye jawan!!*
Tu mere liye Jadoo ka chiragh hai…Tu ye tou butaa paani hai k aag hai….Oops! sorry for that….How can we forget “Awaz”!!!..The trio comprising of Haroon, Fakhir and the leading guitar player in today’s Pakistani music industry Asad Ahmed gave us great hits like“Aye jawan” , “Mr. Fraudy” and ” jadoo Ka chiraagh” which surely rocked many hearts..
*Jazba-e-Junoon*
When we talk about Rock music in Pakistan the first name that hits our minds isJunoon!!! A band who took Pakistan’s name to different parts of the world and gave out the real image of what this country is capable of by giving a new dimension to music known as “Sufi Rock”,with their hits like “Neend Aati Nai”, ” Khudi”, “Sayonee”, “Saeen” and the ever popular “Jazba-e-Junoon”. Junoon surely influenced many other local rock bands to come in the main stream .
