Pakistan girl band creates a stir >> http://www.zebandhaniya.com/

*http://www.zebandhaniya.com/*

*"We have been doing music together since we were six years old - as long as
I can remember," says Haniya Aslam, as her cousin Zeb (Zebunissa) Bangash
sits beside her.*

"It started out as a fun thing at family functions.

"Music was very much a part of our family set-up - my father was an
aficionado and all my uncles could play an instrument. "Our grandmother was
also a big influence - she was a poet and was fluent in three languages."

The Zeb and Haniya (Zay-b and Ha-nee-ya) band is a project started by two
musicians, Zebunnisa Bangash and Haniya Aslam. The band is primarily
Lahore-based; however, Haniya's hometown is Islamabad, and a lot of the work
involved takes them to Karachi often. Though the music and sound of Zeb and
Haniya is hard to confine to one genre, it has been described at various
times as Alternative, Art Folk, Ethnic Blues, World Music and Easy
Listening. (To return to this page, click the Zeb & Haniya logo in the
