Commonly, ignorantly but understandably
lumped in with its wealthy not-too-
distant cousin, Bollywood, Lollywood was
inspired by, but often overshadowed by
its posh and well-traveled relative.
Following the simplistic Bombay +
Hollywood = Bollywood name game (that
would in later years spawn Nollywood in
Nigeria), Lollywood's Lahore based film
industry was a profitable and vibrant
one that found great success in the
modest boundaries of its own country but
was seldom savoured outside Pakistan.
However, the hugely important musical
business spawned a bi-product that was
viewed as a potential earner for
international entertainment industry,
EMI, which allowed talented musicians to
create ambitious music with world class
mediums at there disposal, which
throughout the 60s and 70s ranged from
fuzz-guitars, space-echo machines and
American and European synthesizers, but,
due to the composers indigenous roots,
rarely a drum-kit. Here you'll find
fuzzy, scuzzy, twang-happy, spaced-out
and funked up urdu-grooves complete with
harmonium melodies and driven by some of
the most random factor, freakish,
finger-numbing, percussion that the
South East Asian mainstream has ever had
to offer. Above all, Lollywood
soundtracks sound RAW! Re-imagine some
of the most action packed Bollywood
productions (which Lollywooders actively
did) then fire the make-up department,
take away the special effects budget and
then improvise. The lack of gloss on a
dusty Pakistani mini-LP makes for truly
experimental Eastern Pop music.
So, it's time to meet the culprits. The
names on the back of the records that'll
keep you gambling on Ghazals and taking
punts on Pakistani pulp-balladry. As an
introduction, in place of R.D. Burman
and Asha Bhole, we have Mr. M. Ashraf
and his long-term female collaborator,
Nahid Akhtar. This duo would provide
Pakistan with it's Gainsbourg / Birkin
or it's Morricone / Dell'Orso for over
20 years, recording squillions of cut-
and-paste sonic collages and moog-
fuelled desperate love / hate / chase /
chill / kill / songs mixing onomatopoeic
Urdu lyrics with unexpected bursts of
user friendly English language (which
often elongates the running time passed
the 5 minute mark) and throwing in the
odd motif from a Barry White or Donna
Summer hit. We also have legends like
Noor Jehan, a national treasure and
household name in Pakistan whose
discography of film songs have deprived
the vaults of EMI Pakistan of floor
space for half a century.
