![]() Having said that, just all of the songs in Baran are interesting. Parvaaz music released their first LP called Baran (rain in Persian) with delightful melodies, the one that specifically spoke to me quite obviously came with Kashmiri lyrics thrown in for the right amount of effect. As if the Gods were watching my Twitter feed and decided to hand me a wish. In conversation with Parvaaz talking about Baran felt oddly familiar. Mar00ned Rohit introduced me to Parvaaz and said, “Roz Roz is special”. ![]() ![]() Some covers done by artists like Rasheed Hafiz (who we failed to find time with on our December night) are nice but they largely still stick to the old melodies. Most of these are also saved as poor recordings from Radio Kashmir and the versions available on the Internet are usually bad. By this I meant, we needed our own Zeb and Haniya bringing in new influences to existing tunes that are beautiful but also set far back in time. I am a big Zeb and Haniya fan, some like Biwi Sanam Janam (in Daari), and had Tweeted a while back that someone needs to do this to Kashmiri music too. I have had a string of Kashmiri posts now, but it came quite by fluke in this order.
