Pop band Stereo Nation coming to Pakistan

user posted image

ISLAMABAD: Music is the universal language of love, peace and friendship, said Taz, the lead singer for Stereo Nation, after signing a promotion agreement for Pakistan, Japan and the United Arab Emirates with Star Light Promotions and Ideas Workshop on Wednesday.

According to the new agreement, Star Lights Promotions will have exclusive promotion rights, arrange concerts and other functions for the band in these three countries. Iqbal Khan of Star Lights, known as Ikki Khan, said that Stereo Nation has a huge fans following throughout the world and Star Light Productions believe that it is the right time to take the band to Pakistan.

Taz, who is currently promoting his new album ‘Café Mumbai’, promised to launch a Punjabi album including some his famous oldies and fresh songs in Pakistan before it is launched in any other country. Taz, who is on his sixth visit to Pakistan, plans to return to Pakistan after Eid to hold several concerts.

“The tour schedule will be finalised later on,” said Taz, who has been singing for the last 16 years. Stereo Nation shot to fame with its very first song ‘Oh baby, don’t break my heart.’ In fact a copy of the song was featured in an Indian movie and became very popular. It was a rare occasion when a copy was released before the original.

This band has many unique features like the fusion of UK-born ‘Punjabi munda’ Taz with Caribbean-born Kendel Smith. The band has famous songs like ‘Thora daro wich piyar mila de’ and ‘Nanchan gay sari raat.’ Their songs have featured in several films, including Bollywood blockbuster ‘Tum bin’. Taz has also made music for other films including ‘Koi mil gia’ and ‘New York minutes.’ His other hits include: ‘Nasha’, ‘Fusion II slave’, ‘Spirits of rhythm’ and ‘New dawn’.

Stereo Nation has the distinction of having been among the top ten on UK music video channel ‘The Box.’ Taz said that famous Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was his main musical inspiration. “He (Nusrat) is a living legend. We still listen to his mesmerising voice and enjoy it. I still feel him with us,” Taz said. To a question, he said he supported cultural exchanges between Pakistan and India. He said artists from the two countries were equally famous and cultural exchanges would benefit them both.

Yep...possibility. I listen to Japanese Songs, I can't see why a few Japanese won't listen to Urdu...unless they aren't die hard music fans like me.

lolz.... did anyone go to the last Stereo Nation concert in Alhamra, Lahore... i think it was in 2001.... swear to God it was a mad house..!! the organizers of the concert had not made arrangements for adequate security... and in the hall of about 10 - 30k capacity, over 90k ppl had flooded in.I got in through my friend's dad in Police smile.gif so was safe... but seriously man i have to say it was the worst scene i have ever seen in my life.
All the ppl from colleges and universities would group outside the place somewhere, and then in groups of 100 ppl would come running down and push their way in. My cousin was with me, and we saw his boss, Badruddin Farasta(CEO of some big textile mills) being ran down by those stampeders... poor guy was carrying his Rs. 3000 VIP ticket in the air yelling to let him in... laugh.gif
The guys there were seriously fukked up. They were grabbing girls, tearing clothes and shit.... sad.gif There was this guy standing beside me and a girl in front of him with her mother. somebody pushed him from behind, and to prevent himself from falling he held on to the girl's shirt from the back, and tore it down to the ground.,. sad.gif
Seriously, for months ppl in the news debated on the concert's arrangement and how our ppl behaved... it was pathetic.. hopefully, the arrangements would be better this time,
