- I would’ve never thought that Pashto could sound this good in a very modern Elektro-pop song. All in One it was a great song, but nothing outstanding.
Coke Studio Pakistan seems to be focusing more on visuals this year, which is really nice! I forgot to mention in my reaction that Rehma really has an incredibly strong voice.
If I were to listen to the song only without seeing the video, I wouldn't say it's a Pashto song at all. I mean, Coke Studio modernizes cultural traditions and old beats, but this time personally, I did not like it. It was like an average modern song, unfortunately.
The Original Video can be found here: • Harkalay | Coke Studio...
Thank you for watching!

No problem with an honest opinion. But as a pukhtoon, let me explain. Every visual depicted a portion of pushtoon culture. Secondly, it was the voice of a pushtoon to a world apart with a different language and culture to welcome which means “ harkalay “. The other person responded in kind to see his overwhelming hospitality. And then the rain of happiness rained over an arid dry rugged earth.
The concept isn’t to depict the typical pushtoon tunes, rather it’s the ability to adapt and embrace a person from a 1000 miles into the hospitable arms of pushtoon wali.
Ask an American soldier who has served in Afghan pushtoon culture with a good heart and he/she can tell you the ability of this only culture of Pakistan/ Afghanistan northwest region to absorb and welcome the well wishers even with clear stark cultural differences. I hope I was able to decipher it for you somehow.
This explanation was needed! Thank you. I have to watch it again to get these details. That’s a blessing and a grudge at the same time for reaction videos. First time watching a song you do feel overwhelmed and you actually don’t know what exactly you should focus on. Especially if you’re not a native speaker and you have to read the lyrics. I really have to watch the magical journey to get a deeper understanding.
@@sedanoour please react on coke studio Bangla also..i hope you may love it
I think this is the first modern song in pashto. Also, if you didn’t notice, in the beginning there’s an old pashto song playing on the radio. And then they shift to modern music representing the change
No there was "tora baram Khama nawaba". and it was awesome
This is not the first modern song in Pushto 😂
@@aafsterlife9647 maybe but I think there has never been a pashto song of this genre before, especially not with English. And this song has a really western touch. That is what I mean by modern
@deronprince4291 Check out Naseer and Shahab, if you're not already familiar with them. That's authentic multilingual modernity, imho. Two Pathan boys cranking out fab melodies in Pushto, Urdu and English. No need for lengthy zoom shots of traditional Pakhtoon faces to create a sense of rootedness. Just authentically themselves.
@@aafsterlife9647 I will check it out. Still I liked this song a lot.
Pashto song. Dance form is Atan. Harkalay means Welcome
I want that lens for my camera, That Anamorphic lens was magical! Went so well with the song. The purpose of this song was to combine Pashtun with western flair. That's the entire point of this song.
This song is about how a guy has been looking for a lover his whole life and when he finds her, her presence becomes his peace so he's asking why are you driving me crazy. Gulay is a pashto nickname which means "sweetie" simply and the phrase used "You are the black of my eyes" is a famous phrase used to express love in pashto. So the whole video and song is about how two lovers meet, then celebrate under the moonlight whilst it rains.
To each their own - this is my favourite song of this season yet. There is beauty in subtlety and fusion - not everything needs to be a 100% culturally distinct. The elements both visual and musical were sufficient. Otherwise there are plenty of pure pashtoon songs out there. I absolutely love this track!
Agreed and I’m not saying it wasn’t good. It’s just that the Pashton culture has so much more to it. Can’t even explain what I was missing. But it’s a good song especially the fusion of both singers is outstanding. 😄
@@sedanoour i totally hear you - and I am here on your channel because i value your opinion as someone who has seen Pakistan and appreciates the cultural diversity & beauty of my country. Music like any art form is subjective so its good to hear different perspectives!
@@sedanoourI understand many were expecting full traditional sounds .
The song was on English melody.
But zahoor Way of Singing is also similar to English singing.
If u check his songs. He is not traditional pushto singer.
If they choose traditional singer. It will be difficult to blend with English melody.
I think they tried to create something based on fantasy too.
same! when I first learned that the next song was going to be a pushto song, I expected something completely different from this based on their other releases so far but this is still a good song & the concept was really cute as well. the bridge is my favourite part. the mixing there & the addition of thunder was just chef's kiss but yea, I do hope they'll explore more of the pushtoon culture extensively in future. appreciate you for keeping it real everytime.
Mashallah looking very beautiful❤ may ALLAH protect you from evil eyes stay blessed😊
My opinion is that since Pashto music is almost entirely traditional sounds and instruments, you probably feel this way. They've tried to create a new sound from it by modernizing the style of singing and instrumentation. It's like an earlier Coke Studio song 'Yo Soch' where Natasha Ali sung Pashto in the most melodic voice but gave it a very different almost European feel and she did it beautifully. Here Zahoor doesn't necessarily do that but since the song is hip pop/pop, it doesn't give the feel of a traditional Pashto song but I feel it's great to produce different kinds of music in Pashto and not stick to one thing because the language is so beautifully fluid that it's unfair to not explore its splendor in different styles of music.
Well honestly speaking It’s a great way to get more attention for pashtoon culture and to make it more popular. But with this song I have the feeling culture and modernisation are not well balanced. 🧐
If you listen to aayi aayi and Maghron la you can literally hear the nation but in this production it was not that present.
It's different from what people expect it.
It's different and beautiful .
Some people will like it and some will not.
But it's a song that gradually grows on you
@@sedanoour I think it's a matter of personal preference. It'll not be to everyone's liking because it's quite different. Ayi Ayi was not so drastically different because it was almost entirely a Sindhi song that had hip pop and pop elements with some modern instruments which gave it a modern feel while still being deeply rooted in the culture of Sindh.
Harkalay, in my opinion, shows how beautifully two entirely different worlds can blend. I believe Xulfi (the producer of Coke Studio Pakistan) deliberately wanted to move away from a very traditional sound which is almost the defining characteristic of Pashto music. He also wanted to make it seamless with English while maintaining an almost otherworldly feel which the song beautifully captures. There are many Pashto songs that capture the culture in its traditional and folk glory so I am glad he did something different.
This song shows Pashto in a completely different light showcasing its musical flexibility which hasn't been done before. Interestingly, even visually there are just as many elements of Pashtun culture in this song as there were of Punjabi culture in Maghrun La. In my opinion, it's just a unique interpretation of Pashto music which since it's quite different might not be for everyone and that's totally fine.
@@sedanoour I agree the basic Pashtoon culture in this song is missing
Glad to know that you know Pashtun culture and understood it well. Harkalay Rasha :)
We love you for your honest reactions ❤
Looking great
Thanks for reaction ☺️
It's endearing what a purist you've become, this is just a simple fusion song with a groove, I am sure you'll have your fair share of culture and tradition in the coming days
You are looking stunning today and reacting to a stunning song also. What a coincidence ❤️

Welcome back in Pakistan
Your opinion is so true if its really making pure pashto song. You must do reaction on its magical journey then you understand what’s they trying to tell the whole world.
If you see this comment I have a few *Coke Studio Pakistan* recommendations that are worth every second to watch and listen
1) Yaar Vekho
2) Hairaan Hua
3) Lagi Bina
4) Aik Alif
5) Kamli
6) Daachi Waliya
Looking anxiously forward seeing you reacting to these songs, I am sure these tracks would be your cup of tea as they are filled with lyrical mastery and proficiency.
Thanks in advance!
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ♥️
Welcome back
so beautiful song so beautiful reaction ❤❤❤
I swear i could look at u for hours ure ❤❤❤
AoA Seda, I felt the same when I heard it for the first time. I was not expecting this song. Then I didn't listen to it for 3-4 days. Then somehow the repeating tune was stuck in my head. Then I watched it again, then watched the magical journey and now I am addicted to it. I am listening to it 3-4 times a day 😅
Amazing Coke Studio Pakistan ❤
jewellery looks great with Black..
Love from Pakistan ❤
Amazing Reaction.
Seda u r fabulous 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤
you are right seda basically, everyone is minutely watching and listening coke studio and its musical concoction ....this song is basically a fast track of music likewise club music but we are expecting a long version of this song but it is sung and picturized in a very good way ........length of the song is short ❤
This is called breaking status quo
Love 💖💖💖 from swat kpk Pakistan
With love and respect 👍👍❤
Mashalla cok guzel

WoW That's really Very Amazing Reaction Like it I am Also Pathan and Love Pashtoon KPK Culture ❤️and Coke Studio Always Superb 👍
Looking 👌❤
Boys with Henna on hands.
Its a cultural thing. They put Henna (mehndi) on palm. And just close it. The henna made different shape for each person. It looks so cute
Hahhhh today look very beautiful 😂❤ masha ALLAH
Very nice sister your reaction
As a Pathan myself, I have to agree with u. I too was expecting my culture to be represented musically when I I saw the trailer which made it clear that the next song is of Pushto. Am disappointed to see they chose modernization over cultural accuracy and representation. I think devoting a small section of the song to True Pashtun cultural music would have done the job, but unfortunately, they opted for this :[ Even if they wanted it entirely to be modern, they could've done it without reducing the cultural instruments; that's how many Pashtun artists are doing nowadays; using cultural instruments to create modern fusion. Believe me they sound fantastic!
Good going
Beautiful pashto song harkalay mean welcome 🤗
awwwww alhamdulillah iam glad your looking n feeling alot better. Love the top you have on. I don't listen to music anymore tbh only surah of the quran. Always keep smiling in this dunya and the hereafter in sh Allah. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
i appreciate your honesty ☺
Oye @seda Nur love you from Pakistan ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ lac time and more more 💝💝💝💝
Best song
Everything of CS special was missing.
The Tag Line of this Season Should be Changed Now" Sound Of the Nation " ✖️❌.
" To Sound Of the World Emotions "✔️.
Because Now Coke Studio has Almost World wide Listeners.
#Keep it Up Coke Studio 🌏.
This the stereo type they want to break that people just look at them in a particular way this is also side of pashtoon not the typical village pashtoon
think Magical journey gave us more insight, if some people didn't feel it.
They already had the melody before they pick the Artist which was modern with English sounding melody.
They picked Zahoor, bc his way of singing is similar to the melody they had. Than they pick female singer which was best fit for this melody.
The set and background grounds, dresses were totally cultural. But they gave it fantasy/ancient touch to the set.
They also set the theme of song that girl is from outside their culture. And pushto people are welcoming( harkalay) her. that they have open doors for anyone.
And Attan at the ending on soft melody music. Which was visually beautiful with Rain.
😍😘❤
I was desperately for your reaction because to me your reaction is very genuine and loving.❤
Thank you!! ☺️
@@sedanoourIt's my pleasure that you replied me❤
Probably the best and my fav song of S15 so far
I liked the song as well. Not saying it was bad. The thing is if you close your eyes and listen to it without the visuals you can’t tell it’s Pashto. I was reviewing it comparing to aayi aayi and maghron la.
But I’m listening to it since it dropped, it’s so beautiful!
@@sedanoour Ofcourse you didn't say it was bad and you have every right to say that if you want, or stay neutral about it or love it, just be honest about it, or maybe if feel confused about it give it another listen with flushing old expectations. Sometimes when one has certain preconcieved expectations about something, but we get totally differentreal thing then it one can feel unsatisfying or disapointing or confusing, as you said you probably liking it more now lol. I only mentioned my favour towards it to show everyone have different taste or maybe due to circumstances of how take it in. I expected a little more cultural song like other songs, but it had modern pop beats to it (probably due to Abdullah Siddiqui being its co-producer) along with cultural instruments, but its certailnly much more modern than what I expected, still I really loved it. I think it can compete with all the top charting songs around the world and why always produce traditional songs? We can have a more traditional Pashto songs as well but why dont have this fusion as well, and Pashto music also varies from region to region as well and their culture aswell. Maybe you can also watch Magical Journey to know more. I absilutely loved this song and blend of Pashtoa nd English and great vocals, composition, beat rythm, video/visiuals and culture shown.
You are right
Seda nur your face same same Pakistani girl pathan. Allah ap ko salamat rakhy ameen jabbar from Dubai. Pakistan zindabaad and Seda nur zindabaad
Mashallah seda madem
🖤✨️
u r right .
Nice❤
As a pashtun I can say u r right not a true depiction of pashto culture specially rabab pakool and many other things but any how something new and I heard rumers atif aslam n khumariyan r performing on a pashto song may be they can depict the true essence of pashto culture even harkalay was somehow difficult to understand for pashtuns
👍
You may be right from your perspective but as you say you were in KPK and you hung out there with people. This song is really a re-intro of Pashtun to the modern western leaning audience. Pathans have always been known for their hospitality but as you know KPK has beautiful natural beauty like Chitral and other places, excellent story telling and great food and yet after 911 they have gotten hardly any tourism and Pathans are basically thought of as Taliban and that's it. This is a great effort to show not only people of the region but also obviously western listeners what Pashtun culture is like. Honestly in my view, it is high time for Pashto songs and culture to infuse some modern elements into it so it is more popular within Pakistan as well as outside.
my crush seda❤❤❤
❤seda nur❤ best reaction u r so beautiful 😍
💯 agreed with you.
Your reaction is awesome. So I want to see your reaction on Coke studio bangla season 3 "ma lo ma" song ❤❤. Wating 🙃
Hi seda, hope you are feeling better. We are praying for your health. ❤🇵🇰
Thank you! 🥹
Coke Studio's new song (O Yaara) is out now.
Thank you! Reaction is up 😌
I totally agree with you, I was disappointed as well, love your reaction and respects for your opinion.
I respect your opinion and it's ok if you didn't like this one but i want to give you little detail about pashto culture . There are so many different cultures in pathan's nit just one culture and there are so many different types of dilects in pashto language as well..... what they showed is mardan side of pathans so maybe every season they try to bring all the dilects of pashto languages also i know you heard most of regional language songs with full energetic and high pitch vocals like ali zafar one but here the theme and the culture didn't suit that banger kind of feeling so they tried to made a soothing melody which suits the theme and visuals of the song and one last thing i want to mention you said coke studio is more focusing on visuals this time i think it's not a justified statement they create gem with singing aspects as well as visual aspects and the most amazing thing is xulfi and coke studio giving a chance to these hidden underrated gem artist to shine giving them opportunity that's the great thing because pakistan has not so many major platforms for musician's it's the only platform and every artist sing there heart out... I love every song vocally, visually and musically as well ♥ maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea but definetly a masterpiece for sure and just this one i love every song so far ♥
I song thank you for respect Pakistan I love German beautiful country❤❤🎉🎉

Hi beautiful grail this is international song I like it very much nice song 💖
Muj ko smj nhi aya pr acha lga muj ko zaberdst 👍🇵🇰🇵🇰
Hey Seda, you can listen to Ya Qurban from cs 11 it was an instrumental composition and it gives pure pakhtoon vibe with rubab and atan dance in the end. Do listen and react to it if you haven't . Tia !
Seda , please reaction to coke studio bangla please 🙏 u will amazed 👏 and enjoy it .Greetings from 🇬🇧 UK
It was missing the Rabab, tabla, and not a typical Pashtoon culture but more modern pashtoon culture. Love your reaction and I agree with you . I am a Pashtoon and from Peshawar and didn’t feel the vibe 😊. Love from ♥️🇺🇸🇵🇰♥️but overall , great song with beautiful compositions .
Song was on English melody that's why.
I'm pashtun, and i totally agree with you. It doesn't feel like Pashtun at all.
looking cute
❤❤❤🇹🇷🇵🇰🥰
The theme of the song was that pushtu people welcome the people outside of their culture.
Thats why they made fusion with english.
But I think if Pushto had fusion with Urdu, it have kept the essence of Our country vibe.
And message could have resonate with the people of Pakistan from Pushto people.
But they wanted to make it globally that why English.
Song was different and uniquely presented
Yeah I started to see it completely different now
The necklace looks very elegant on your neck. Mashallah Why are you not married yet? 😍
She hasn't met me as yet. That's why.
Nice song Aayi Aayi Aayi 👳🇵🇰👳👍👍👍
You looks most most mosttttttttttt beautiful in the black dress and looks like our pashtun girl i am big fan of your natural beauty my name is amjad khan from peshawar 😚👍💖💫
Thank you so much! ❤️
youre totally right regarding incomplete representation of the pashtoon culture. Being pashto speaker the pronunciation of pashto words were disastrous like he was chewing those words and made it hard to understand even for the native speakers. Most of the pashto lyrics didnt even make sense.
Though the cultural event when kids were rubbing on ashes on their faces and raining has significant importance in pashtoon culture and history and it was portrayed masterfully.
Hey, could you react to Coke Studio Bangla songs as well? I'd really love to see your reactions to them!
Yes I agree with you..pure pushtoon cultural music instruments are missing there...
How beautiful you are @Seda, Mashallah.
