Consider the adulation Pakistani musicians receive in India and you’ll know there’s no bitterness. Blue Frog will play host to one of the popular proponents and beneficiaries of this cultural osmosis, Mekaal Hasan Band (MHB).

Known for their avant-garde brand of jazz and sufi fusion, MHB has been around for more than a decade.The band, which was formed in 2001 in Lahore, released their first album Sampooran in 2004. The album was a departure from the usual simple and catchy tunes that typified Pakistani pop music of the era. However, it was the single Chal Bulleya from their 2009 album Saptak that made them popular on both sides of the border.
