Bakhtawar raps about how Pakistanis should "stand tall" on their "soil with pride". PHOTO: SINDH FESTIVAL OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE
Made in collaboration with the band Mooroo, the song was released via a link to the song on the Sindh Festival's official Twitter account.
Opening ceremony song by @BakhtawarBZ & @mooroo4 https://t.co/tGgkToALlz #SindhFest
— Sindh Festival (@sindhfestival) February 1, 2014
The song starts off with a very catchy beat and has a hip-hop feel to it. Bakhtawar, who has previously dabbled in some rap music, talks about preserving Pakistans' heritage, the motto of the festival. She goes on to rap about how Pakistanis should "stand tall" on their "soil with pride".
Bakhtawar's collaboration with Mooroo is another step in the festival's campaign process. This was preceded by Facebook videos that she along with her brother Bilawal made to promote the traditional ajrak.
The song with Mooroo is not the only single that will be featuring in the festival. Ali Gul Pir, of the Saeein toh Saeein fame, was asked to produced a track specially for the festival. The result is Pakistan ka Beta. Borrowing from Saeein toh Saeein, it promotes the festival.

These relics belong equally to Indians too. Please open up the borders for tourism and study purposes before it gets too late. The more people involved in study / tourism the longer these treasures will last.
I dont know why but i feel like they are just making fun of Pakistani people
what on earth ?
Great and commendable effort by young BHUTTOS. Please establish a Zulfiqar-Benazir Foundation for promotion of education in Sindh. Sindh is lagging behind in education in comparison to other provinces. Culture alone may not be enough in the long run.
all those commenting in negative enjoy these sorts of ceremonies/concerts, but what they cant see is that it is coming from Sindh
Only yesterday there was live footage of a woman being beaten and kidnapped on the street of sukkur in broad day light in front of people and these corruption party royalties have the guts to stage these dramas when in their kingdom sind such crimes are a routine
Its kinda cool though!
Awesome, Bakhtawar our daughter with PPP ajrak.Long live you, long live Bilawal.
Mummy Daddy....festival........
Mannn its cool, stahp hating. Even though I don't get rap as a genre, it shows that we have something other than bombs and all around garbage..and its light hearted fun, political propaganda aside, sindh as received a lot of bad rep recently thanks to the halaat situation in Karachi, and if we're still celebrating its existence and culture, than I think what she did is very brave and very cool. Ps. No, I'm not a sindhi, a PPP supporter or anything else. Just a Karachiite who likes this initiative, no ulterior motives.
Fun song, but this entire festival (and more so the way it's being executed) is a complete joke and obviously a publicity stunt. I personally think it's sad that musicians are contributing to what is essentially a PPP branding / next-gen dynasty promotional campaign.
Honestly speaking...now I think about it and realise that we couldn't have expected any better from this premature lot of organic politicians ;). They have been brought up under the western culture and have no sentiments for the Pakistani culture.
My blood boils when I see all this happening when there are still a handful of senior / sensible politicians in the party.
The PTI in K-P and the PML-N in the Punjab might deliver something at the end of their five-year tenures. The PPP? No, no chance in my lifetime. Not one good policy-maker among them, not one individual of real substance, not one real policy to be implemented. Terrible for the fortunes of this once-fabled land of prosperity and greatness. p.s: Somewhere along the season of festivity, I hope haris of Sindh will be portrayed too. Umm, but then maybe the burger-feudal kids might shy away from the reality on the ground. Keep partying guys! The people; who really cares?
Since when did hip hop become part of the Sindi culture???
Goodness. So much negativity...
Awesome; brilliant work
