'Nescafé Basement' launches Pakistan's youngest band ever and we are all in awe!

Here's how Twitter is reacting to their rendition of Fakhr-e-Alam's 'Pyar Diyan Gallan'

KARACHI: Remember when Nescafé Basement was lauded by John Newman for its remarkable rendition of Love Me Again? What made that even better was the fact that the cover had been done by Pakistan's first ever all-girls band!

Then, we were treated to the eight-year-old Hadia Hashmi. And now, the music show is back with another promising launch: Producer Xulfi has now introduced an All Kids Band in the third episode of season five.

Taking to Facebook, Xulfi launched the band's rendition of the 90's hit Pyar Diyan Gallaan, originally by Fakhr-e-Alam, Fringe Benefits and Yasir Akhtar.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you Pakistan's youngest musicians giving the message of love and peace to the world with their version of Fakhr-e-Alam, Fringe Benefits and Yasir Akhtar's 90's hit Pyar Diyan Gallaan. Everything you're about to hear has been played by these kids," wrote the composer.



Here's all you need to know about the young artists. On the vocals are Rajea Iman, Samiya Gohar, Fizza Batool, Muhammad AbuBakar, Sultan Muhammad Fateh Shah, Syed Haider, Shujaat Ali and Ali Mahoon. The guitarists include Elyan Nasir, Hassaan Salman, Saad Mirza and Muzamil Hussain. The bassist is Rafay Rajpoot, the violinist is played by Syed Zain and Ahmed Effendi is on the sitar. The ukulele is played by Shayan Ali.

We see Sinaan Salman and Alishba Faisal on the drums. The dhol players are Ali Imran and Zeeshan Ali. The tabla is being played by Mohib Khurram and the pianists are Jerry Chris, Syed Saad and Zayna Mian with Sehar Yonus on the harmonium.

Watch it here:


As expected, Twitterati is in just as much in awe of these uber-talented youngsters as we are. "Nescafé Basement did it again! Pyar Diyan Gallan. I mean their music makes me want to hear more from them! The kids set the stage on fire! My personal favourite is the one in green sweatshirt," wrote one user. "Just realised, first it was 'all girls band' and now, 'all kids band. They definitely know how to keep up with their game!"
