Ik Bar Chalay Aao - Street music near Kawai, Kaghan Valley

[Nkkhilji]

20 Rupeeeeeeeee Nice Moment.. i wish i was there ;)

[sultanoxforduk]

this is in the north of pakistan iv been past there...when i was going to Naran ...im from mansehra but born in uk its a beautifull area.

[rebelfromlahore]

just 3 days back we were stuck because of land sliding there as well...and did listen to him...lolzzzz its oct 2010 :P

[optimistsRUS]

@rebelfromlahore

Really? The same person at the same spot and the same reason for being stuck? LOL

[rebelfromlahore]

@optimistsRUS yes..lolzzz isnt that amazing ? ofcourse there is a three years gap. now the land sliding happened at Paras from last 20 days, we went back to kawai and next day after breakfast we found this singer at the restaurant :-) we have not had the video camera....gash that would have been an very interesting response to your video bro:)

[optimistsRUS]

@rebelfromlahore

True, that would have been interesting to say the least :) I think he probably visits the valley every year, my video is from August 2006 so that's 4 years ago, time flies!

I'm sure you guys had a good time.

[rebelfromlahore]

@optimistsRUS ah alright...we go to north west Pakistan every year...and now we are looking forward to establish a hiking and adventure trip organization for adventure lover from all over the world, so to get their trips organized with us.... exhibition of our pics from our last trip was really appreciated in London... which gives us to think why not to properly arrange trips ? and yes to invest the profit earned from it back to the local community...

[rebelfromlahore]

@optimistsRUS yes Indeed it was a wonderful trip despite the fact that a local guy trying to cross the sliding just minutes behind us was caught by a falling piece of rock and died ! on our way back we choose to use the "dolli". just to be a bit safer o,0

GOOD JOB  DUDE

[AadamInsaan]

Just amazing !

Simple and good !

[mianmitthu]

lol funny ending Ha ha

[JasonCaesare]

I listen to this often. When I see these people, I feel happy because their happiness is simple.

[optimistsRUS]

@JasonCaesare

Very true. Through ads, movies, TV and the internet the media bombards us with the message that if we want to be happy we should buy this or buy that; that spending will make us happy, make us "cool", otherwise we are losers.

[JasonCaesare]

@optimistsRUS I've known only a few Persian people, but the ones I've known seem very kindly and open minded. Also, these people are having so much fun just enjoying each others' company. That's one of the reasons I left the United States. Our culture has mostly lost that sense of tight-knit community that kept people happy, moral, and feeling secure. Sad to say, though, I've seen the same thing happening all over the world now.

[optimistsRUS]

@JasonCaesare

True, that culture is disappearing. This video is from Pakistan and the singer is a Pathan. The song is in Urdu, the national language of Pakistan, which borrows a lot from Persian (along with Turkish and Arabic), but Pushto, the language of Pathans is even more close to the Persian language. The people of Pakistan are probably a mix of a bunch of ethnicities including the local ex-Hindus, ex-Buddhists, ex-Sikhs, and the Persian, Turkic, Arab and perhaps Greek and Macedonian people

[JasonCaesare]

@optimistsRUS Sons of Madai. I'm from the line of Gomer, I think. We have the same ancestor. Anyway, I recognized that as Urdu later because I've seen this song in some Pakistani videos, but I wasn't sure until you told me. I only know a few words of Dari, but enough to know that Persian words are present in nearly every language around the world.

[TheNaseerAwan]

yar apkay ye sub video muje bohat kuch guzra howa yad dilatay hain..main ne bi in places pe apnay kissi pyaray kay sath tour kia tha.. Naseer from Texas.

[bunerwal]

welll some troubles are really good, like you were delayed for about 10 hours but you still managed to enjoy... that's really great, i hope rest of the trip was fine.

thx for sharing.

[optimistsRUS]

@bunerwal

You're absolutely right, we wouldn't have had all this fun if we had not got stuck at the roadblock :)

[khalidlatif215]

great!!!! long live Pakistan.

[almjorda]

Beautiful, beautiful! Is Kaghan valley safe these days?

[emppire5018]

Fantastic. These guys are singing this beautifull song in the street without proper instruments. Our society do not need guns. We need this spirit. Peace and love for all. Long live Pakistan. Thank you very much you guys from Khagan valley

[khanzada38]

Long Live Pakistan (L)

[optimistsRUS]

Bilkul jinab, yeh video jitni baar dekhta hoon phir wohi yaadein taaza ho jaati hain :) I haven't been able to visit the Northern Pakistan in two years now...

[ViMiK]

Abb Kesay Jaa Saktay Hain :( I heard k Taliban Waliban aa gaye hain.. Mundi Kaat detay hain...lol

[optimistsRUS]

I don't know about that, but I think that was just Bull**** to give Taliban a bad name, there may have been some incidents but in the recent months the Army has been fighting a group of Pakistani Taliban in Swat valley which is not too far from Kaghan Vally :( I'm not sure whether the route to Kaghan is affected or not.

[Pokhton]

[optimistsRUS]

Salam Aziz bhai,

How are you and how is Peshawar? This street performance was the most memorable part of the trip! Thanks for the sweat music and the sweat tea! It's amazing to find you online, I'll give you a call Insha Allah later today.

[tuseefamin]

Nice One...Gr8 Work....

[humhainah]

jeeee ohhhh

u betta ask him for sum more songs lolzzz

[optimistsRUS]

I'd love to but I don't have any contact with him. He was a random "humsafar" (fellow traveler) who was stuck at the same time as our group was, I think I got his card that had his work phone number (they worked in a printing press in Peshawar) but I'm not sure if and where I could find it now coz I moved later that year.

[humhainah]

no problem

anyways thanks for the song.

cheeerzz

[Krasadiva]

so nice video!

[uzairkhan29]

This guy sings really good.... and sounds fun

last few seconds of the video are really funny when our singer claims his reward hahahah

anyways how was your rest of the tour.

can you upload more videos from this trip

[optimistsRUS]

The reward was just for fun, he didn't actually take that money in the end. This was probably the most interesting of the videos (it was on Abeer's camera), my camera made huge uncompressed videos so I didn't make any videos. There are another couple of videos, one with a Pushto song, I'll try to upload that.

[uzairkhan29]

of course that would have been for fun only but his expressions are so funny...

hey i saw your pics on the link you have given..

but i can not see the full panorama of the pics

can you pls help me out on that...

[desirhythm]

that is not a sarangi, it looks like rebab.

[optimistsRUS]

Thanks for the correction, I had mixed up the name.
