On March 28, Hasan Raheem unveiled his new solo track titled ‘Bewajah,’ featuring artist Umair. The accompanying music video was shot in the picturesque region of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, highlighting the area’s breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
The video captures the entire production team dressed in traditional attire, set against stunning natural backdrops. It also features local polo players and showcases authentic Gilgiti dance performances, emphasizing the region’s vibrant traditions.
In a notable discussion, Raheem reflected on his roots in Gilgit-Baltistan and explained how his distinctive Gilgiti dance moves are deeply influenced by his upbringing in the area. He also shared behind-the-scenes images from his northern journey, expressing gratitude to his team for supporting this cultural initiative.
Earlier in February, Raheem took part in the DKP fundraiser, pledging that the proceeds would benefit deserving communities in Gilgit-Baltistan. Following the release, he posted clips from the ‘Bewajah’ video on Instagram, thanking fans for their overwhelming support and affection.
Raheem described the freestyle polo featured in the video as the ‘Game of Kings,’ noting its unique nature with no referees or formal rules, distinguishing it from conventional polo matches. The music video’s cinematography received praise for its exceptional quality, while viewers also commended Raheem’s commitment to honoring the sport and cultural heritage.
