The magic of music, romance and the most breathtaking visuals.
Hadiqa Kiani’s collaborations with Sufiscore have resulted in some beautiful songs and this time, the two have come together to present yet another evocative, memorable masterpiece.
Hadiqa Kiani’s latest release, ‘Baari Thaani,’ under the Sufiscore banner is a soulful rendition of classic poetry accompanied by contemporary visuals. Baari Thaani is already winning hearts with over 1 Million views on YouTube since its global release on the 23rd of August, 2024.
The song is testament to Hadiqa’s nightingale voice which sets her apart as one of Pakistan’s most outstanding musical talents. This song, which was initially intended to be part of her debut album, comes full circle in a touching tribute to the themes of love and spiritual connection, anchored by her unparalleled vocal prowess.
A Soulful Melody Reimagined
The track opens with the poignant verses of Professor Rashid Hassan Rana, setting the stage for a musical journey that weaves together the rich poetry of Mian Sheheryar and the evocative melodies crafted by Hadiqa Kiani herself. The song’s arrangement is a delicate interplay of classical instruments, featuring the mastery of Ustad Tanvir Hussain on the sarod, Baqir Abbas on the flute, Steve George on the guitar, and Asif Ali Goga on the ‘tabla’. These elements, combined with the harmonium played by maestro producer, Irfan Kiani, create a rich, textured sound that perfectly complements Hadiqa’s soulful voice.
Baari Thaani is more than just a song; it’s an experience designed to be felt by the soul.
