ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Dec, 2017 ) :Asian Study Group - Comparative Cultures Club would organize a spiritual musical evening with an all-women spiritual music group from Gilgit-Baltistan led by the vocalist Mehrangez Mir at Lok Virsa Media centre on December 15.

The group will perform a variety of musical genres, including Ginan, with lyrics mostly written by the acclaimed Hunzai poet, Allama Nasir-al-Din. They use traditional Burushaski musical instruments like Duf and Rubab.

The group�s music transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries.

It is a unique practice of oral renditions that portray their tradition of following the �path of truth� (Satpanthi) through which the inner meaning of faith (batin) can be understood.

However, some Ginans are also written from the perspective of a woman who has been waiting with desire to be re-united with her beloved. The session will begin with a conversation with Mehrangez Mir, followed by a musical performance by the entire group. The musical evening would be attended by a large number of people from different walks of life.
