Despite being met with discrimination on the basis of her gender very early on in her career, Jajji Jee persisted and continued to sing all types of genres, including Sufi kalaam, naats, chalandars, dhamaals and ghazals.” This is Jajji Jee’s first collaboration with another musical artist. Although she is not formally trained, Jajji Jee credits Baba Bulleh Shah for giving her the gift of song, and cites Madam Noor Jehan as one of her greatest influences. According to the band, “Jajji Jee was born in Kasur and has been singing from a very young age. The artist they’ve collaborated with, Jajji Jee, is someone they connected through Track T and belongs to the community. The organisation’s objective is to raise awareness about marginalised communities in Pakistan and promote “equality and inclusivity.” All of the proceeds from the song will to Track T. The band behind this version, Sikandar Ka Mandar, created this song in collaboration with a transgender community organisation based in Lahore called Track T. The familiar tune and lyrics of the classic Chand Si Banno Meri Tere Hawale, made modern by infusing it with an electronic pop rock sound, is a perfect little release of eclectic sounds over the airwaves, needed to make a long drive home easy.
It’s a favourite especially during the evening rush hour.
This song can be heard streaming on the radio.
