When a multinational group with eclectic influences gears up to put out an album, you can bet that it’ll be a masterpiece of a release.
Mekaal Hasan Band’s (MHB’s) third studio album, Andholan is the first release of theirs to feature a new and improved Indo-Pak line-up that features the recorded debut and introduction of Indian singer, Sharmistha Chatterjee on lead vocals. Mekaal Hasan and Mohammad Ahsan Papu, the founding members of this critically acclaimed music group, reprise their roles as writing and composing partners, showcasing an innovative and progressive approach to songwriting. It is this kind of progressive spirit that sees the group incorporate the sounds of classic jazz-rock groups from the 70’s with classical/Sufi music melodies; only to supercharge that sonic soundscape with a healthy dose of rock fusion making ‘Andholan’ a thoroughly exquisite album.
From the adrenalin-pumping introductory song “Ghungat” to the tranquility-evoking, conclusive track “Kinarey”, this album will leave you in a state of spellbinding bliss.

Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.Terey bajho dewani hoyi
Tokaan kardey lok sbhoi
Jeker yaar karey diljoi
Taan faryaad pukaar de haan
Without my love, I feel desolate,
People around me mock my helplessness.
He should come and lift up my spirits,
This alone remains my plea,
-
Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.Muft mukandi jandi bandi
Mil mahi jind aweien jandi
Eik dam hijar nahi main sahndi
Bulbul main gulzar de haan
Your slave is being auctioned free
Come my love and rescue me
No longer can I perch elsewhere
I am the Bulbul of your tree
-
Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.Bulleh Shah owh kon utam tera yaar
Ows dey hath Quraan hey owsey gul zanaar
Bulleh! Who is He?
A strange type of friend!
He has the Quran in his hand
And in the same the holy threadGhunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.

Come, my friends, congratulate me,
For I have found my beloved, Ranjha.The day has arrived, this auspicious moment,
Ranjha has entered our courtyard.
Staff in hand, a blanket on his shoulder,
In the guise of a menial.I, Bulhe Shah, struck a bargain,
Drunk, I drank the cup of poison,
Without a thought of benefit or loss.
I desired this grief, this pain.Come my friends, congratulate me.
For I have found my beloved Ranjha.
