‘Charkha’ is a sufi song which has been sung by a lot of singers over the years and we’ve discussed about the song in the version sung by the sufi maestro Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Here we are talking about the version which has been rendered by the Pakistani Sufi singer Javed Bashir. Javed Bashir came grab the attention of Indian audience with the 2012 bollywood song ‘Piya Tu Kahe Rootha Re’ from the movie Kahani and ‘Tera Naam Japdi Firan’ from Cocktail. He has also sung beautiful numbers like ‘O Rangrez’ from the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which shows that he is a master of classical music also. He is educated in Hindustani Classical music which is apparent in his singing. The song ‘Charkha’ which we are discussing here was performed by Javed Bashir in Coke Studio season-7 (Year 2014). This version is one of my favorites. It just compels you to tap your feet with the beats of the instruments in perfect sync of his magical voice.
