The sensational Pakistani band Strings,
proclaimed the emergence of a new wave of Pakistani pop music
with the release of their album Duur in 2001 and then Dhaani (2004)
which is greatly influenced by Indian classical music, Bollywood
hits and western rhythms. With increased emphasis on Eastern melodies
involving the touch of raga in the vocals, they use instruments
like flute and sarangi to give the vocals an Eastern touch. Merging
music and cricket during the last Indian cricket team’s
tour of Pakistan and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 they came
up with everlasting tracks celebrating Indian cricket and emerging
friendly ties between India and Pakistan.
