The song ‘Makki Madni’ was originally a qawali/naat in its traditional form, sung by classical maestro Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
The timeless ode has now been re-imagined by Karachi-based Chaand Tara Orchestra. They have recrafted the original track that breaks all traditional boundaries, yet maintains the depth of Nusrat Fateh ALi Khan’s version.
With Sikandar Mufti on percussion and Babar Shiekh on bass, the intro of the song starts off slow untill vocalist Sherry comes in to dominate the track.
The band sums up the new song on their website:
“A humble rendition of Khan sahib’s much celebrated tune. This is praise to the Light of Cosmos! May Peace and Blessings and Salutations be upon Him!”
