Not the best rendition of Waris Shah’s Heer that I have ever heard. But one of the most captivating nonetheless!
The singer is one, Anita Lerche, from Denmark, who has found a niche market in singing Punjabi songs – mostly for Punjabi Indian audiences – in her Danish accent.
I suspect Punjabi Pakistani audiences will also find her entertaining for the same novelty value.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Nice to hear this.
Kind of funny, though.
I guess we sound the same to native speakers when we speak in English :-)
Why are you making kalian noo jealous? Wait for their wrath
Please dont get me wrong I like dark skin if there is good head on the shoulders.
But this is how the conversation went between the two Pakistani girls, when I took a chair next to them in a private party.
The girl who was wearing a green color contact lenses and had dyed blonde streaks claimed to have half Turkish in her said to another.
Aap bari pyari lag rahi hen
The another perky but little cocky said
Nahin Aap bari pyari lag rahi hen
But the another again insisted
Nahin nahin Aap bari pyari lag rahin hen
Until I got up and changed my seat.
Janis Miller, an American woman, performed in Urdu and Punjabi at a lot of Pakistani functions. She was very good with the crowds. Here she is doing long gwacha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wychmNoEjYI&feature =related
The interesting thing about Miller was that her repertoire was almost entirely Pakistani, and not Bollywood. I dont know if she is still active
Definitely another TAMASHIT.
Nice find. And a good break from the serious stuff. Glad to hear this. But will hear it only once :-)
