be a rather spontaneous process because of the music’s deep
connection from my spiritual self. This holds true for every
powerful piece of art which grips oneself from within and elevates
them to an indiscernible yet emotionally blissful state. [More] |

In
a music market saturated by Channos, Preetos and Pappus, Sampooran,
the Mekaal Hasan Band's (MHB) debut record, crashes through
with remarkable precision and unmistakable passion. It is a
deep, intense album drenched in emotional, spiritual tones,
which aims to re invent the lexicon of eastern classical-western
rock fusion. [More] |

Anyone
who is involved in the music scene in Pakistan on a somewhat
professional level respects (and fears) Mekaal Hasan. He is
one of the very few academically trained rock musicians around.
