Levi’s Live session 7 keeps the momentum rolling for live music

LAHORE: Levi’s Live hit the right notes with session 7 at Riot Studios featuring Mustafa Zahid of Roxen and Keeray Makoray who kept the momentum rolling for live music.

Levi’s Live throughout the year kept its commitment of promoting live music by bringing the best and brightest of the talent Pakistan has to offer on center stage. With seven sessions in, it has captivated audiences by reawakening the spirit of live music. Levi’s continues to inspire and empower the next generation of musicians and artists by reviving the live music scene in Pakistan.

Levi’s has partnered with Riot Studios: the premier space for recording music, films and post production in Lahore, where some of the country’s top musicians, music videos and films have been produced over the last decade.

The seventh session was opened by the existential funk rock band Keeray Makoray and headlined by Mustafa Zahid with his band Roxen which provided an eclectic mix of music to the audience. Keeray Makoray, true to its character energized the crowd with some funky groovy tracks. The band’s diverse vocal range and the poignant performance of Mustafa Zahid and Roxen left the attendees spellbound. 

Mustafa Zahid has had a string of success under his belt since he appeared on the music scene in 2006 on both sides of the border. He has steadily built himself as a playback singer in India with his distinctive vocals and continues to perform nationwide in Pakistan. Mustafa is also the band leader and the lead vocalist of Roxen, formed with some of his friends in 2004. 

“Got to say it was totally old school and we loved every bit of it, cause back in the day there was a culture for such gigs which I’m so glad that Levi’s along with Farhad Humayun has brought into the scene. BIG UP!” said Mustafa Zahid.

Keeray Makoray’s debut was in 2010 and the band has been producing original music ever since. The progressive rock band comprises powerhouse vocalist Altamash Sever on vocals, Zain Peerzada on Bass with Syed Misbah-ud-Din on guitar. Yusuf and Daud Ramay on Drums.

Levi’s Live is a platform to play live music for talented young & upcoming artists to reach their creative heights in the Pakistani music industry. The Levi’s Live sessions are the culmination of the brand’s commitment to Live Music.
