Erasing Poverty One Loan At A Time...

About Me

Har Ik Zehr, which means “Every Single Poison” in Urdu, is a world/fusion rock band comprised of Pakistani born guitarist/vocalist Dar, Chinese-American bassist Timothy Leung, and Colombian-American drummer Richard Orjuela.
Their music combines Eastern style melodies and rhythms mixed with Latin beats, bluesy guitar, and driving bass. From angelic and hymn-like to aggressive spoken word, from bluesy ballads and “feel good pop” to driving hard rock. Thoughtful and thought provoking lyrics in English and Urdu that takes you on a voyage through the human experience: from love to heartbreak, sadness to happiness, from anger and self-doubt to faith.
Har Ik Zehr is based in New York City. They have also opened for Pakistani rock bands such as Jal, Junoon, and Atif Aslam. Their music has been played on Radio 1 FM91 in Karachi, Pakistan, Harris Radio in Brooklyn, NY, PBS 106.7FM in Melbourne, Australia, and the BBC’s Asian Network in the UK. They have also been featured on “The Beat” on Bridges TV.
Har Ik Zehr actively supports micro-finance by lending a portion of their earnings from each performance to entrepreneurs in developing countries through http://Kiva.org . Please visit their lender profile at http://kiva.org/lender/harikzehr .
