Jal-The Music

Jal -An Urdu word of Persian origin which simply means 'water.' An element that constitutes of 70% of our being, and more than 2/3 rd of the earth. The inspiration behind the band's name affirms the intimate connection of water to the rhythms of our lives-and how it is something to be celebrated, revered, and preserved for all times to come. The name 'Jal' is the product of the band's vision to recognize Music as the artistic extension of this natural unity. Water is truly one of the most sacred parts of our existence and the band's music celebrates that concept by orchestrating a symphony of lyrics and music that is as limitless and timeless as itself. The result was Jal-the band; which is a collaboration between three exceedingly gifted individuals; Gohar Mumtaz, Farhan Saeed and Shazi. The oft-quoted statement that "Music is the universal language of mankind" holds particularly true when it comes to Jal's music. Their Music like water itself knows no exceptions, and boundaries. It aims to cater to people from all spheres of life and of all ages
