Coke Studio Season 9| Episode 3
Dilruba Na Raazi, Zeb Bangash & Faakhir Mehmood
Originally performed and composed by Fazal Malik Akif
Additional Composition and Music directed by Faakhir Mehmood
Produced by Strings

‘Dilruba Na Raazi’ is an amalgamation of vibrant, cultural sounds inspired from a Pushto folk tune, combined with an infectious melody that fits the original like a glove. Opening with a soul-stirring chant in Zeb Bangash’s pitch perfect vocals, the music builds up to welcome Faakhir Mehmood in a single that effortlessly merge the contemporary western sounds with a signature Pashtun rhythm. Whilst retaining the nostalgia of the original, music director Faakhir has managed to reform the tune into a festive romantic song with an intricate chord pattern, and free flowing music pieces featuring the accordion and Rubab amongst others, creating a beautifully euphoric track. #CokeStudio9
