noori rocks coke studio with Saari Raat Jaga
In the words of producer Rohail Hyatt himself, this is the ‘flagship’ song for this year’s coke studio. Not only does the song reflect the genius of Ali Noor as a composer, the amount of hard work put in by every performer is evident… and has paid off!
Saari Raat Jaga has been a journey in all senses of the word. Ali Noor began working on it a good 3 months before production began, the house band too rehearsed it for the longest time. Musically as well, the song contains distinct sections. It starts off on a mellower, jazzy note, and moves into an intense and complex jam session, eventually reconnecting with the energy of the original version.
Its THE piece which brings out the musicianship of every performer to the forefront, and hence fulfills the essence of Coke Studio as a production where the best talents of this country are showcased - to their maximum potential!
Enough of story telling. Experience it yourself:
To really enjoy listening to this song, download the audio and preferably use headphones (or a good audio system).

The original version of this song has always reminded me of the Prince of Persia series and the original version totally sounds like it was MADE FOR the ‘warrior within’

Sari Raat Jaga ain’t meant to be played acoustically. It didn’t show that expression of troubled desire, the real song expresses.

I ONLY became a fan of the coke studio sessions after watching Noorie perform ‘Sari Raat’
It was excellent, this is a showcase of pure talent Pakistan has and pure genius with the composition.
There is always fusion on screen and in peoples heart when Noorie (the complete band) showcases their music mastery that i dont think is other artists have!
Thank you for the music guys…Rock on!
