Javed Bashir & Humera Channa - Ambwa Talay Coke Studio 7 Episode 4
Coke Studio brings together the iconic South Asian voice of the new millennium, Javed Bashir and the honey-dewed vocals of Humera Channa for the track Ambwa. The Coke Studio composition unfolds as a folklore transporting one into a dream like landscape. Written by Hazrat Amir Khusro the wordings elaborate a wedding of a girl and the conflicting emotions of sadness and joy that parents go through when their daughter is getting married. The composition encapsulates the complexity of human emotion, immersing one in melancholy and nostalgia. Bashir’s earthy tones deliver the depth of the composition that is further complemented by the subtle nuances of the xylophone played by Arsalan Rabbani, while Humera’s vocals accentuate the tenderness to the arrangement.
The composition presents a mix of elements; the poignant effect of rain, the clarinet creating an impression of a shehnai that maintains a sense of auspiciousness and sanctity to the structure and finally the percussions that bring the song together.
