JAL- AN URDU WORD OF PERSIAN ORIGIN WHICH SIMPLY MEANS ‘WATER’. AN ELEMENT THAT CONSTITUTES IF 70& OF OUR BEING AND MORE THEN 2/3 RD OF THE EARTH. THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BAND’S NAME AFFIRMS THE INTIMATE CONNECTION OF WATER TO THE RHYTHMS OF OUR KUVES-AND HOW IT IS SOMETHING TO BE CELEBRATED, REVERED, AND PRESERVED FOR ALL TIMES TO COME. THE NAME ‘JAL’ IS THE PRODUCT OF THE BAND’S VISION TO RECOGNIZE MUSIC AS THE ARTISTIC EXTENSION OF THIS NATURAL UNITY. JAL The Band- History (Biography) JAL was formed in Lahore in 2002. When Goher Mumtaz composed his first song by the name of “AADAT” soon after, began his search for like minded musicians to complete his band. He ran into Shazi (Aamir) – A bass guitarist and after a few jamming sessions he invited Shazi to join JAL, and together they went about looking for a vocalist. Some time later Goher heard Atif singing in a local college music competition, impressed by his vocal range he offered Atif to join the band and to do vocals for the song “AADAT”. JAL’s first single “AADAT” was released in DEC 2003. Before the release of its video “AADAT” was released on the internet through a local Pakistani web portal.
