| Legend Nazia Hasan |
| by Amujtaba (Wednesday, December 7, 2005) |
The popular brother-sister duo, Nazia and Zoheb Hassan, was one of the first acts whose appeal hopscotched linguistic, ethnic and national chalklines. London-based and of Pakistani extraction, they broke new ground with their disco-inflected music. Nazia Hassan's hit "Aap Jaisa Koi" (Hindi for "Somebody like You") from the film Qurbani was one of the sensations of 1980 (available on Polydor cassette 3227 038). Close behind it, she and her brother established themselves with a massively popular Hindi-language hit cum rallying cry called "Disco Deewane" ("Disco Crazy"). Chart success in India, Pakistan, Argentina, Venezuela and the Gulf reinforced their international appeal.
Amidst the sobs and tears, almost every one had one thing in mind, i.e., ?God Almighty had showered Nazia Hasan with all the bounties, except length of age.
One could easily rank Nazia Hasan as the first and foremost pop singer of Asia, generally and the Indo-Pak subcontinent in particular. Born in a well to do, highly enlightened family in 1965, Nazia Hasan had shown an aptitude for music from her earlier days.
As a young child, Nazia Hasan frequently appeared in Pakistan television?s music program for children, called ?Sung Sung?. Sohail Rana was the lead person of that show. Her father Baseer and her mother Muneeza took great interest in the upbringing and education of Nazia and her younger brother, Zohaib.
Both of these gifted kids were admitted to school in London, where they received education as well as lessons in music.
