Waah Ustaad!

Whether it's about the barbaric ritual, or another claimed meaning, burning down one's sins, this is the best song of Coke Studio season 3 so far. The effect is extremely graphic. As Taufiqbhai says in the BTM, it feels like "एक कोहरा हैं! मैं उस कोहरे में से एक रोशनी को देखता हूँ, जो एक बहुत बड़ी आग बन जाती हैं!"

I wish he did more mainstream work. Until he does that, do yourself a favor, the next time "Masters of percussion" visits your city, go watch it. As much for Taufiq Qureshi, as for Zakir Hussain. You will be entertained and inspired, irrespective of whether you are musically inclined.
