Faqeera By Coke Studio Explorer
Apart from sounding pleasant to the ears, Faqeera is a visual treat. It is not just a song but also a representation of culturally diverse and heterogenous Sindh that has stories to tell from the rich heritage of Indus valley civilization.
Two of the rural Sindh’s melodious folk singer Shamu Bai and Vishnu have sung this Sufi song that tells the relationship of people with God and how the Lord listens and responds to the quest of its people.
As the description on the Youtube link says, Faqeera is a tribute to the Sufi saints of the region who spoke the truth and promoted harmony.
And, what is a better way to connect with people other than music that has a profound impact on listeners.
Promoting A Culture of Peace through Music
The song Faqeera captures the rural Sindh, as it is shot in a remote village Deewan Lal Chand. It depicts the green fields, musical gatherings, the Sindhi community indulged in daily life business and much more. It is just the story of one of the most cultured regions on this land.
Pakistan is a culturally diverse country, and this diversity becomes eminent in the form of Sindh a province where a different religious and cultural communities live in harmony.
