“Tu” is the track that captures the spiritual essence of Pakistan. This is the mellowest song of the album ‘Saara Jahan‘ and it doesn’t need you to search for spirituality at the top of the Himalayas. You have it all in one track in the comfort of your speakers.

Karavan - Saara Jahan As almost 6 years painfully pass while fans wait for more news from a big group, expectations of a comeback diminishes. Even 6 years is a long time for bands in Pakistan, and its rare to find a group that has kept a strong foot in the ground. But now the influential group named Karavan is back from the blue with a brand new album, “Saara Jahan”.

Formed in 1997 by guitarist Asad Ahmed (also known for guitaring on Coke Studio), the band lineup is Tanseer Daar on vocals, Asad Ahmed on guitars, Sameer Ahmed on bass and Allan Smith on drums and percussion.

Karavan have revolutionized the Pakistani music scene by fusing Eastern melodies with the power of modern Western rock. Fusion and combinations between East and West is always done, but these guys perfect it. The band has released 3 studio albums and 1 live album racking up sales of 2 million copies worldwide.
