Paheliyan by MAUJ

Babies haven’t any hair;
Old men’s heads are just as bare;
Between the cradle and the grave
Lie a haircut and a shave.
–Samuel Hoffenstein.

This (old/new) Pakistani band Mauj have released several songs (i think six so far…Khush fehmi, Su, Khayaal, Mona, Dobara Awaaz Do, and Paheliyan) and i love all of them! They’re songs have been in the Pakistani music scene for sometime but still no official album. It seems like a few years ago when I first heard their single, Khush fehmi, and saw the Babar Sheikh video. Now they’ve released a new song, Paheliyan - it’s equally great and I can’t wait for them to produce and release a full Mauj album!
