So, NESCAFÉ Basement has been lit this season. From covers of songs like “Pyar Diyan Gallan” by their all-kids band to their cover of “Mehbooba”, NESCAFÉ Basement has been pushing out hits after hits. And it’s no surprise from a platform like this that is known for finding raw talent and showcasing to the world how talented Pakistanis truly are.
I mean their rendition of “Mehbooba” had all us 90s kids nostalgic AF.
So, naturally, we were all excited when they dropped their latest cover “Piya Re“
Originally performed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the song is about the longing one feels when a loved one leaves and the beautiful lyrics have enchanted generations.
The eternally loved song has now been covered by NESCAFÉ Basement and honestly it’s OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Piya re, piya re, piya re , piya re
Thaaray bina lagay nahee maara jiya re
Gah! Amazing. I mean has there ever been a more amazing cover?
Produced by Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan – Xulfi – and performed by a myriad of talented artists, including amazing vocals by Jahangir Niazi, this song will enchant you. The folks over at NESCAFÉ Basement have truly outdone themselves with their latest track and the reaction to the song is all the proof that anyone needs.
People absolutely love it.
The entire team has done a fabulous job…
…and has left most of us speechless!
Jahangir Niazi’s voice has been the perfect fit
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan would most def be proud!
