Pakistan releases re-recorded national anthem

ISLAMABAD, Aug 14 (NNI): The government of Pakistan has released a re-recorded version of the national anthem on the 75th independence anniversary.
Although reports claimed that the new version of the anthem was produced with a considerable budget, it is not significantly different from the older as the original musical score has been preserved. Similarly, words remain unchanged.
Some of social media users have expressed disappointment over the new version as they had been expecting a vastly different anthem. People, however, have found the visuals attractive.
The new version, which was re-recorded 68 years after the first one came out, has been produced by 155 singers, 48 musicians, and 6 bandmasters.
The anthem features vocalists from diverse regional, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, from various religious faiths and musical genres, including Abdullah Qureshi, Bilal Saeed, Fakhir Mehmood, Humaira Javed, Taj Mastani and Umair Jaswal.
The project has been completed in collaboration with various departments including the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and ISPR. NNI
