Xulfi Jabbar, the main mentor and man behind Nescafe Basement expressed his gratitude to musicians for their hard work and dedication. He also appreciated the young talent participating in this season. This season has around 45 participants, way more than previous events.
The event was opened with two songs from this season, Jadoo ka Chiraaagh by Awaz and Mukhre Toh Nazran Hatawan by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. They were covered by the young musicians, who owned the song with their unique renditions. The second cover was particularly appreciated because of the use of unusual musical instruments, like the flute, which was introduced into the symphony to breathe new life into the well-loved tune.
