Extensive Definition
Rungg (Urdu: رنگ) is a Lahore
based pop-rock band. Rung's debut album "Green" was released in
Pakistan on April 1st 2006. Rung arrived on the local music scene
in the year 2003 with their debut single "Hum Na". The video
was nothing great – just another band performance – but the song
itself was brilliant. Apart from some great guitaring and subtle
keyboards that gave this song a romantic feel, "Hum Na" also used
tablas and drums in a perfectly blended manner. Each of the two
instruments had one beat that was audible throughout the song. And
with Ifu's strong vocals as he sang "Meray
Ho Tum Ho Na", "Mujh
Mein Gum Tum Ho Na," Rung had indeed arrived on the music
scene.
