Sameer Halka, Halka Review

Overall Rating

Sufi music has found a new sound. Halka by Sameer is a convergence of timeless great Sufi lyrics, mannerism and new age rhythms of dynamism. Halka is young and contemporary having a modern and new age reflection of the classics created by great Sufi poets and composers of all times. The singing styles, the arrangement patterns, the sound of music, and the young yet classic feel are the ingredients that have successfully created the new sound and the new style to the recipe called 'Halka 'by Sameer. The melodies and lyrics have been improvised and modified to suit the requirements of each song.

Halka Owning huge collection of sufi-music cds, but most of the collection is composed in traditional music like harmonium etc. I found this cd unique coz of using Guitar and other new age music instruments and that too for sufi songs. Second track of this album 'Nara-e-Mastana' is very special. I liked others as well like 'Naina Milaike', 'Peeya Se', 'chaap tilak'. They are just awesome, I must say Sameer is succeded in establishing the chemistry of sufi songs with new age music.
