Can You Twirl To It: The Mekaal Hasan Band and "Megh"



Pakistani group the Mekaal Hasan Band is on tap today with their song Megh. From Lahore, Pakistan the Mekaal Hasan Band is known as a Sufi rock band with musicians that have backgrounds in pop, rock and soul. The band was founded by composer, singer-songwriter and guitarist Mekaal Hasan, who was influenced early by his father's jazz albums and eventually studied at the Berklee School of Music. They have released three albums, the last of which was 2014's Andholan on which you'll find Megh. The lineup of the band is notable because it features musicians from Pakistan and India, traditional enemies.
