Irfan Ali Taj, 33, has found his sweet spot with his latest single, “Thak Gaya Hoon,” which features Varqa Faraid.
Once upon a time, Taj would frequently grant requests for the song at Karachi jam sessions. With his acoustic guitar playing “Thak Gaya Hoon,” he would take you to the picturesque valley of Chitral. You could feel his spirit twirling between the busy city he has come to love and his sleepy village.
Taj is not your typical artist; he is appreciative of his talents and wise beyond his years. Because of the way he has utilized them, I say this. The vocalist strives to both reinvent and maintain the classic Chitrali sound. His efforts have been fruitful thus far without getting monotonous.
