Song Name: Afreen Afreen
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was one of the shining lights of Pakistan, a Qawwali Shahehshah whose talent was heralded both locally and globally. To celebrate the legend that still lives 19 years on, Coke Studio presents
Afreen Afreen, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Momina Mustehsan, Episode 2, Coke Studio 9
Music Directed by Faakhir Mehmood
Produced by Strings
The beautifully crafted ‘Afreen Afreen’ sung two decades ago by the legendry, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan still holds the strength to serenade the audience with its poetic and soothing sensibilities. The reformation of the track on Coke Studio – arranged by Faakhir Mehmood and performed by maestro Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and debutant, Momina Mustehsan – transforms the Qawwali seamlessly into an unplugged track. Within the genre, the atmosphere of the song remains ambient and acoustic, as the bare minimum elements give room to Rahat’s majestic vocals to improvise the mastery he possesses. Momina enters the song as she punctuates the additional melody with her laid-back effortless velvety vocals. Towards the end, the track is perfectly complimented with the incredible drum roll and a hyper groove as the traditional ‘Afreen Afreen’ chants are delivered with heartfelt emotion and melodic panache.

My name is Afrin. When someone Bullied me because of my physical appearance. They make me feel like I am the most unwanted person in this world. I listen to this song and this song changes my mood and feels like someone in this world thinks that Afrin is special! Thanks to the writer of this song.

You see this song indicates that love is respectful towards each other. The guy is explaining the beauty of the girl, she is so beautiful that her beauty cannot be described by words. The girl on the other side is telling that her beauty has emerged just because of her affection towards the boy. Such wonderful lyrics it is. Also the last part...as usual marvellous voice of Khan sahab. Damn! This song is perfect from every side. ♥️

10 reasons why the unplugged Afreen version connects with the contemporary generation much more than the original classic! 1. Rahat, the next best person on the planet to sing this after Nusrat Sahib! 2. Qawwali to a romantic unplugged number - a welcome genre change! 3. Lyrics are much more prominent to the listener. Javed sahib ka jawab nahin! 4. Unplugged light arrangement on acoustic guitar goes with the romantic lyrics 5. So what if we don't have Lisa Ray, we have a 'beauty with an enchanting voice' - Momina! 6. Awesome backing vocalists add to the breezy romantic feel! 7. Rahat sahib ends with the typical Nusrat style sargam 8. Slower tempo brings out the emotions beautifully! 9. Live jam session helps connect with music better 10. Do you really need another reason to hit that replay button?
