Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem has submitted his song Bewajah for consideration in two categories at the 2027 Grammy Awards: Best Music Video and Best Global Music Performance

Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem has submitted his song Bewajah for consideration in two categories at the 2027 Grammy Awards: Best Music Video and Best Global Music Performance. The announcement highlights the singer’s efforts to introduce the music and cultural heritage of Gilgit-Baltistan to international audiences.

The submission was announced through an Instagram post shared by the Hasan Raheem Global page, featuring the message “Bewajah | For Your Grammy Consideration.” While the submission marks an important step for the track, it does not guarantee a nomination.

Released in March 2026, Bewajah features producer Umair and combines Urdu lyrics with a bridge in Shina, a language spoken in Gilgit-Baltistan. The song blends emotional storytelling with musical influences connected to Raheem’s northern Pakistani roots.

Music video celebrates Gilgit-Baltistan

The music video plays a significant role in the song’s identity. Filmed in Gilgit, it features the region’s mountainous scenery alongside traditional clothing, local dance and a freestyle polo match.

These visuals place the culture of Gilgit-Baltistan at the centre of the production, presenting its traditions and landscapes to viewers beyond Pakistan. The combination of regional music, distinctive scenery and traditional sporting culture gives Bewajah a strong connection to Raheem’s background.

Freestyle polo, closely associated with the region and its Shandur Polo Festival is particularly prominent in the video. Raheem has previously expressed enthusiasm for the sport and encouraged people to experience it.

A new milestone for Hasan Raheem

Raheem gained wider recognition through popular songs such as Aisay Kaisay and Joona. His audience expanded further through collaborations and appearances on Coke Studio Pakistan.

His work has often reflected his cultural roots, making Gilgit-Baltistan an important part of his artistic identity. The Grammy consideration submission for Bewajah continues that approach by combining regional language, music and visual storytelling.

The next stage will determine whether the song advances to an official nomination. Regardless of the outcome, its submission draws attention to a production that celebrates northern Pakistan’s cultural heritage through contemporary music.
