Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem unveiled his new single 'Bewajah' on March 28, featuring artist Umair, accompanied by a music video shot in the scenic landscapes of Gilgit, Pakistan.
The video prominently showcases traditional attire, placing Raheem and the cast against Pakistan’s breathtaking vistas, with polo players and local Gilgiti folk dances woven into the visual narrative. In a recent Forbes interview, Raheem spoke about his deep ties to Gilgit-Baltistan, explaining that his signature dance style is directly influenced by the culture of his upbringing.
The singer also shared behind-the-scenes pictures of his trip to the northern region.
"Thank-you to my team for backing me up and taking an initiative in this direction," he captioned a post on Instagram. In February, Raheem also participated in the DKP fundraiser, the funds from which he said "will be going to the deserving people of Gilgit Baltistan."
The singer also shared clips from the music video to his Instagram, thanking his fans for their response. “No words for the love my fam has shown me on BEWAJAH," he captioned a post, adding "I don’t like my own words because they won’t be able to do justice to your love."
Further, Raheem wrote about freestyle polo, known as the Game of Kings, which is being played in the video. “No referees, no rules, just RAW polo. It’s very different from a normal polo game. It has a rich history so dive yourself and find out more about the game. It’s showcased globally at Shandur polo festival every year. (If you haven’t watched it yet you’re probably missing out)”, he wrote.
Fans appreciated the singer's love for culture, applauding his dedication to traditional melodies.
