'Us Rah Par': Coke Studio pays emotional tribute to Junaid Jamshed

JJ's legacy and contribution to the Pakistani music industry will never be forgotten and Coke Studio did him justice

Coke Studio season 10 may have kick-started on a low note, but it surely knows how to finish with a bang.

While this year's renditions of some of the songs didn't really work out all that well, (case in point: NFAK'S Dam Mast Qalandar) last night's finale paid a heartfelt tribute to one of the nation's most beloved icons Junaid Jamshed and it was oh-so-beautiful.



Ali Hamza and Ali Zafar's take on JJ's famous Us Rah Par was soulful and I, for one, is still in an absolute awe.

Us Rah Par also marked the comeback of Strings and I have to confess, I have missed Bilal Maqsood's tranquil voice. Written by the master himself, Shoaib Mansoor, the song never fails to give you goosebumps.

Hamza and Zafar's soft notes complimented the song way too well, and Strings joining in was the cherry on the top.


Hamza and Zafar couldn't be more proud to be a part of the tribute, and wrote:
