Junoon

Junoon or the Sufi-Rockers as the population of Pakistan call them, is the most popular rock band in the country. They are known in the entire continent of Asia, United States of America and England. Junoon started in the beginning of 1990’s and is the founder of this type of music. The word Sufi means mysticism and that is what kind of theme the band is performing and singing with. Junoon also, mix in poetry from famous Sufi mysticism poets from the 1500-.

Their music is sometimes played on the channel MTV and internationally Junoon has played with Metallica and Pearl Jam. http://www.123musiq.com/images/AbhijeetSawant-Junoon.jpg

Their music is based on Mysticism and here is the explanation to what mysticism is; the belief that personal communication or union with the divine that is achieved through intuition, faith, ecstasy, or sudden insight rather than through rational thought.

To me this is a bit confusing but the music is pretty good. I would really like to hear the mixture of metallica and Junoon.

Further down is a website to Junoon and a Youtube video from one of their songs.


Copy and paste the websites to a new window on your browser :D

  1. The MTV Pakistan music awards will be held in May. Junoon is not nominated for a category in this music awards ceremony, which is called "MTV Brrr Music Awards 2009." I just thought it was interesting.
