Huns Dhun | Raag Hamsadhwani Reimagined | Mekaal Hasan | Official Music Video

🎵 Huns Dhun by Mekaal Hasan, a sufi rock reimagining of the traditional tarana set in Raag Huns Dhun (Hamsadhwani), originally composed by the legendary Hindustani classical vocalist Ustad Amir Ali Khan of the Indore Gharana (1912-1974). From the album Saptak, this composition blends one of the most recognizable ragas in Hindustani classical music with contemporary rock guitar, flute, and fusion arrangements, creating a haunting musical interpretation that bridges centuries of classical tradition with a modern sonic identity. The music video carries a powerful humanitarian narrative, focusing on the 2005 forced evacuation of Afghan refugees from Bajaur, Peshawar, Pakistan back to Afghanistan. The tarana's wordless melodic phrasing becomes the voice for a story that words alone cannot tell. Ustad Amir Khan is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of Hindustani classical music. Born in Indore in a family of musicians, he founded the Indore Gharana and pioneered a vocal style that merged the depth of dhrupad with the expressiveness of khayal. His tarana compositions remain some of the most studied and performed pieces in the classical repertoire. Raag Hamsadhwani (also spelled Huns Dhun) is a pentatonic raga known for its bright, auspicious quality. It is one of the most widely performed ragas across both Hindustani and Carnatic classical music traditions, often used in devotional and celebratory contexts. 🎸 Band Members Mekaal Hasan: Guitars and Keyboards Javed Bashir: Vocals Muhammad Ahsan Papu: Flute Sameer Ahmed: Bass John Louis Pinto (Gumby): Drums 🎧 Production Album: Saptak (Released January 9, 2010) Mixed and Mastered: Mekaal Hasan at Digital Fidelity Studios, Lahore Produced by Mekaal Hasan for DFS Records 🎬 Watch More from Mekaal Hasan ▶️ The Night of Song Full Playlist:    • The Night of Song | Full Performances   ▶️ Chal Bulleya:    • Chal Bulleya | Bulleh Shah Kafi Reimagined...   ▶️ Sajan:    • Sajan – Mekaal Hasan Band   📜 Promotions & Inquiries: haris@mekaalhasan.com 🎶 Explore More Music Albums: https://mekaalhasanbandmusic.bandcamp...
