TRANSFIXING, HYPER-FOLK JAMS WITH RICH AND DEEP PUSHTOON ROOTS...
With its propulsive, furious sound, Khumariyaan "The Intoxicators" has reawakened the live music scene in Peshawar, the ancient crossroads through the Khyber Pass whose contemporary culture is under attack from within and by outside factions. The lute-like Pashtoon rubab, is the meeting point for this instrumental jam quartet. It intertwines with the djembe-like zerbaghali (clay or wooden goblet drum) and Pushtoon sitar (long-necked lute). Underpinning these instruments with driving acoustic guitars, Khumariyaan’s rolling pulse and richly layered sound builds to frenzied intensity. It’s an addictive and accessible pleasure that’s ushering in a new era for an eclipsed music.
FEATURING: Farhan Bogra, rubab and Pushtoon sitar
Aamer Shafiq, rhythm guitar
Shiraz Khan, percussion (Zerbaghali)
Sparlay Rawail, lead guitar and Ghungro percussion
