Mizmaar, one of the biggest live acts of the country, were most recently spotted performing at the first ever I Am Karachi Music Festival (IAKMF) 2015 with guest vocalist Hamza Tanveer of Nescafe Basement fame. After a successful participation in the music festival which managed to pull large crowds, Mizmaar has now announced that they will be releasing their latest single on 14th August, 2015. In the past few weeks, the band has been hinting at an exciting mystery collaboration that they have been working on and finally revealing more details today, they have announced that it is with Indian rock band Euphoria, known as one of the pioneers of fusion/pop music in South Asia.
At the IAKMF 2015, the crowd was ecstatic to see Mizmaar perform with yet another promising upcoming talent after Mashhad Sharyar, and the collaboration turned out to be very entertaining. Hamza’s raw energy mixed with guitarist Kashan Admani and drummer Alfred D’mello’s polished skills produced a phenomenal sound that left the crowd screaming for more.
The band started their performance with their original hit single ‘Pal’ which remains to be a crowd favorite even 12 years after its initial release. Hamza put his own special touch to the song which made it a delight to listen to. This was followed by a mashup of a folk tune of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic qawwali Allah Hoo. Mizmaar’s version of the qawwali had more of a rock touch to it, but was thoroughly entertaining nevertheless – the crowd happily sang along. Following, Mizmaar performed their hit comeback single ‘Jee Loonga’
