Hadiqa Kiani continues her journey of exploration and self-discovery on Coke Studio 12 with Daachi Waaliya, a popular Punjabi tune that carries with it the unique rhythm of a camel’s gait. For Hadiqa, Daachi Waaliya is attached to memories of her first performances on stage, a song she would sing in school competitions as a child. Woven with themes of romance and loneliness, the poetry of Daachi Waaliya calls out to a camel-rider, asking him to carry the singer away with them, calling back to the story of Sassi and Punnu that has come down to us through the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. In Coke Studio’s rendition, Hadiqa joins the song with verses written by Sufi poets Waris Shah and Bulleh Shah, which ultimately speak on the nature of unconditional love. These verses hint at the spiritual undertones of Daachi Waaliya, allowing an experience that is open to searching for and creating one’s own meanings through the exploration of the piece.
“For every adversity I face in life, music is a medicine. It has played a vital role in my sanity. I learn from music; I find peace in music. I find lessons in music, to grow in life, to create positivity in life. I seek music. I seek whatever I can get from music because it’s a huge ocean.” said Hadiqa Kiani
