Zeb & Haniya

about

Zebunnisa Bangash and Haniya Aslam, a female duo who have evolved from two college kids experimenting with music as a hobby to artists who have created one of the most anticipated albums of 2008. Zeb and Haniya was conceived circa 2000-2003, the girls’ college days in the United States. Chup, their first song, came to life in sessions at an abandoned café in the basement of Zeb's dorm. After a tremendous response from the college community, Zeb and Haniya recorded a rough version of Chup and another song titled Yaad with Mekaal Hasan (of Mekaal Hasan Band). Once again, the response was remarkable. The songs were a hit. They spread on the internet and soon found their way onto Pakistan’s City FM 89 radio waves. Zeb has been singing since age eight and has been training as a vocalist since 1998 with acclaimed Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan. Her fellow musician and first cousin, Haniya, is a guitarist, vocalist and a songwriter. 9 of their debut album’s 10 songs are original compositions. Produced by Mekaal Hasan, at Digital Fidelity Studios, the accompanying musicians on the album read like a ‘best of’ list in the national music scene: former Noori drummer, Louis 'Gumby' Pinto on percussion, Shallum Xavier of Fuzon on lead guitar, bass by Kamran 'Mannoo' Zafar, Mauj’s Omran Shafique plays a blues solo on their debut single Aitebaar, and Co-Ven’s Hamza Jafri (guitars), Sikander Mufti (drums) and Sameer Ahmed (bass) are featured on the final track of the album.
