In doing so,\u00a0he may have inadvertently\u00a0created an Epic Song of his own.<\/p>\n<h4>This One&#8217;s a Hit So Far<\/h4>\n<p>The Jalal Jigar cover is actually not half bad, and serves as a far better aesthetic experience than Coke Studio&#8217;s Franken-track.<\/p>\n<p>The song captures the spirit of the original song. Its just a fun song like the original that isn&#8217;t focused on production but just putting good music out there for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, this isn&#8217;t a track with high production values, what with auto-tuning and all that new tech and lyrics that could put Mir to shame. But yeah, it did feature some direction and camera techniques you don&#8217;t \u00a0usually see in Sindhi folk music. The format was much cleaner, less crowded and let the music be the actual star of the show.<\/p>\n<p>At most, tinkering with the beats included the addition of a few instruments, most prominently Jigar&#8217;s Ekrara, that instrument we commonly associate with Saeen Zahoor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The high pitch, low bass instrument added an upbeat vibe to the song throughout.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some other personal touches included the questions most of us have when we first heard the song. &#8211; Who is this mystery woman Koko Korina? \u00a0And where do we find her?<\/p>\n<p>Ustad Bajai Wala responded to this in a diplomatic manner, &#8220;Tauba (God forbid).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, the singer was really into the song and the mood wasn&#8217;t forced. Perhaps it takes folks who possess the right cultural background to appreciate the classics and revamp them for new listeners. Because it sure seems that\u00a0<em>Goth Studio\u00a0<\/em>succeeds where <em>Koko Korina (2018)<\/em> didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If it isn&#8217;t broke don&#8217;t fix it.
