As a six- year-old I could hardly understand music. But there was one tune, which I still remember humming in my class when I was in grade one. The song had a distinctly catchy tune and had taken the Pakistani Pop scene by storm. It started off as Sar kiye yeh pahar. Then suddenly the band who sang this song vanished. And when after eight years the Strings launched their smash hit album called Duur I realized that they were the same guys whose tunes infused a craze of music in me at a very young age.

In the recent past, the Pakistani pop scene has blossomed into a mature music industry. Even a fierce critic of Pakistani pop, one would find it exceedingly difficult not to acknowledge the worth of the recent crop of songs that have lately hit local TV channels and music stores. They’re melodic. They’re catchy, they’re groovy and they’re soulful.

A year ago, it was a glamorous evening with rush of dashing crowd in a gloomy arena waiting for results from a panel of judges, yes that was the “Battle of Bands” final contest between EntityParadigm and Aaroh. As the results were announced, the crowd started cheering for the winner of competition between 20 bands, Aaroh won. Yes! ! !

Aaroh means ‘Ascending Notes of Music’. Yes! They came, they saw and they conquered. Aaroh have been recognized as an ‘Eastern-Music Genres’ because they have grabbed the audience who wanted to listen to the eastern-classical mix. Aaroh’s recently released maiden album ‘Sawal’ took them to the top of the pop. ‘Sawal’ is rated as one of the few perfect maiden albums because of the presence of all genres of music from hard rock to eastern classical.
