Witnessing the recording of Coke Studio's Aik Alif
hamnawa.net
Friend of the show Abid Hussain was invited by Ali Hamza to the recording of Aik Alif on Coke Studio 2 in 2009. Abid wrote about the experience then, and allowed me to reproduce a section here: Although it took a while for the house band, and the main performers to gel together and decide on the arrangement and timings. Repeatedly starts faltered and retakes were done. But once the timing was sorted, and Rohail gave thumbs up for the first full take – the gang just elevated themselves to an entirely another planet. In one fluid motion, the entire place was swept over by the haunting chants of Allah Sayyan, the crashing cymbals, the violins, the rhythm, and ofcourse, Hamza’s banjo.
