Rahim Shah {2010} LaKa Da Aman Tappa Chi Souk Afghan Wokri

http://www.rahimshah.com



Rahim Shah was born on 12th December 1975 in Karachi where he was cultured and educated yet his ancestry origin is from Swat which has been the reason for the dearth of apparent Pushto vision in his life. Rahim Shah is multi-lingual in fluent Pushto, Urdu and Punjabi.
Rahim Shah's solo career began in the late 1990's with lots of hits to his credit from the onset, to mention the song 'GHUM' which broke popularity records. 'GHUM' isn't Rahim Shah's personal composition; it is an Afghani folk song or tappa, sung by an anonymous singer. Haroon Bacha a well-known Pushtoon singer also sang 'GHUM', but it was Rahim Shah who made the song a hit because he translated the tappa into Urdu and gave the song his own arrangement. In short span of time Rahim Shah has shown his singing talent beyond belief. He sang 'GHUM' under the supervision of 'Salman Alvi' and recorded his album working extremely hard on making it different to others. The song turned out to be a huge hit and was highly appreciated by the listeners. Rahim Shah has been bitter over the recent plagiarism of his song by the Indian singer Altaf Raja who copied Rahim Shah's version of the song 'GHUM' and through that Altaf Raja gained popularity on satellite channels. Eight albums of Rahim Shah have been released so far, four albums are in Pushto and four albums are in Urdu.

His Pushto album 'PEERA' became an instant hit after its release. Another album called 'SABARO' had success with the tracks 'TAP TAP' and PAYAL', in the same year he released another Pushto album titled 'MEDDA MEDDA'. After taking a short time of reflection he returned back to work bringing another hit with the song 'CHANNA'. He also worked on three videos that were PRIYA and RANG LAI MEHNDI directed by Sarwar whereas Suhail Javed directed his third video TERE ISHQ NE. Rahim Shahs ultimate favourite song has to be JHOOLA which he wrote and sang to his mother whom he dearly loves.

Rahim Shah once said the only difference he saw between his debut album and his current album is the Music Arrangement. Rahim Shah now feels he is ready to fulfil his initial desire of becoming a playback singer; it will place him on track according to his proven successes. Rahim Shah has stressed that there are very few people who produce professional music and look to making commercial music hoping for and instant hit with a song making this a very common practise. He believes that it is the listeners/s who dictate whether a melody is polpular or disliked. Even if a commercial song becomes a hit it is very short lived, its only the good melodies that survive time and continue to be liked for generations.

His new 12 track album has taken a year to produce and will be released by the help of FIRE RECORDS (GEO TV). Rahim Shah has placed a real touch to his arrangements and used authentic music in the songs. The album contains music from three genres: film based music, folk music and pop music. Currently he has also been working on a video with professional focus on high budget videos with visual and marketing aids, which are an essential requirement within todays music industry. Rahim Shah is known to have said, "There is no doubt that we (Pakistanis) have got very good music but they (Indians) have a very good market.

Rahim Shah's favourite singers are Salman Alvi, Nayyara Noor, Sonu Niigam and Asha. He has interest in welfare work but doesn't like to ask for donations. If GOD wills then Rahim Shah would carry out the welfare project with money from his own pocket. He said about his short hair, its better a singer is remembered for his cheerful sweet sounding vocals than his long hair"

I wont say hes the only greatest artist we have in the Pashto music industry. Pashtane have a very rich music history and we had some very extraordinary and brillient artist among us that Rahim Shah wont be able to ever reach. We had artist ´that have putted Afghan music to another higher level, not only in singing but also in poetry. Well done by Rahim Shah, rise the Pashtun voice!

We need to at this point promote our Pashto music instead of punjabi, and raise the Pashtun voice!

ولي خان نه چا پوښتنه وکړه، چې تۀ څوک يې؟

ولي خان ځواب وايي----زه شپږ زره کاله پښتون يم، 1400 کاله مسلمان يم او 50 کاله پاکستانے يم٫

نو که تۀ خپل شپږ زره کاله تاريخ په 50 کالو ورکوې ستا خوښه ، خو اکثر پښتانه بيا تا نه مختلف سوچ لري

زۀ په پاکستانی نوم فخر نه شم کولے او په پښتو فخر کولے شم

زما اتلان بېټ نيکه،ميروېس نيکه، احمد شاه بابا، شير شاه سوري ،خوشحال خان خټک، رحمان بابا ، باچا خان دي نه چې قاېد اعِظم

@LinguaAfganica lolzzz i guess so

@DevilCallsMeeDad Pakistan exploits Pashtun and Baluch ressources. When we are in our territories west to the Sindh river we feel as being at home and not in Pakistan. Even Karachi's population has recently become to be consisting of a Pashtun majority. Punjabistan gets astronomical funds(allowences) from its masters in the US to harm and even kill and bomb Pashtuns.

So who is feeding who????

@fruitchat

She is a fake Afghani. She is from Tajikustan calling herself Afghan. She even doesn't know how to speak Afghani which is our sweet Pashto, "dukhtar" is Farsi/Dari lol
