Zeb and Haniya Performing ‘Chal Diye‘
Earlier this month, a certain bulletin caught my attention. ‘Zeb and Haniya, Pakistan’s first female duo, visit India.’ The Times of India was one of the first to feature them in their daily… after which every tabloid I turned to had them covered. Their names, place of birth, education background… and the inevitable questions about their plans in Bollywood (!) had indeed taken our media by storm.
So, the coke studio season 2 finally comes to an end. We all are going to miss the studio where the fusion happened and will desperately wait for the the third season to come (May Allah give long life to Rohail Hyatt). During the airing of the second season, we actively collected statistics and ran voting polls (10 days per poll) for each episode, so, we may figure out and also share with you the likenesses and dis likeness of the crowd about the the season.
The statistics and analysis are our own and must not be used anywhere else without prior permission. They do not represent the original statistics of the Coke Studio by the Cokestudio.com.pk
The first two episodes of Coke Studio celebrated individuality and harmony. This week as the show returns with artists Ali Zafar, Zeb and Haniya with Javed Bashir, Noori, Josh and Atif Aslam, the third episode is called equality. Instep gives you a sneak peak…

Ustaad M Jumman’s ‘Yaar Dhadee’, which reminds one of our rural deserts, gets a resurrection that is stunning and surprising. It brings together Ali Zafar with Baqir Abbas and, one part of the Noori brothers, Ali Hamza alongside the Coke Studio house band.
“I chose ‘Yaar Dhadee’ because I wanted to introduce our youth to the great treasures of our music. The music of this soil and its people and make them realize what they’ve been missing out on. It’s my tribute to Jumman Khan.

New Kids on the Block
Everyone will tell you they think Woody Allen is a genius but few of them will have his films in their film collections. Zeb and Haniya, in that sense, remind one of Woody Allen. Indeed, the press attention this duo had received has been nothing short of extraordinary and in an even more unusual occurrence, the most artistic musicians in the country have lent a hand in producing their music.
However, despite the fact that the press is making them out to be a national phenomenon, that isn’t the case, yet. Their music is too layered, too folksy and too bluesy to be understood by eardrums used to simpler fare. But what beautiful music it is: Zeb has a glorious and powerfully-understated voice and Haniya is a fitting accompaniment with her clean guitar-playing skills.Some of the hype surrounding them distracts from the real beauty in their music. As Pakhtun women, the torch of progress is forced upon them but their origins are incidental. What they need to be seen as is the new creative face that has changed Urdu pop. There was a time when people thought Urdu could not lend itself to rock, but then Junoon came along and changed the rules. With Zeb and Haniya, the same has been done: a new canon of folk rock, jazz-influenced numbers and blues in Urdu has been created. That’s a lot for a debut album. F. Z.
