LAHORE: A jam-packed Fortress Stadium was enthralled by an impressive band display by Mehteran, a traditional Turkish military band, at the Lahore Cantonment.
The tilting tunes, amidst drumbeat and an immaculate performance in a crescent-and-star formation by Mehteran band captivated the large audience.
The stadium burst out of its seams as spectators gave a standing ovation when the Turkish band played the tune of ‘Jeeway Jeeway Pakistan’ as an expression of solidarity with the Pakistani nation.
Acting Lahore Corps Commander Major General Bilal Akbar and Brigadier Necdet Tuna of the Turkish Army were the chief guests. The participants of Mehteran band were presented souvenirs as a token of remembrance.
Mehter is considered as the oldest military band of the world and pioneers of military music. The clothing of Mehter has the distinct characteristics and beauty with regard to its colour and cut. The instruments used are shrill pipes, pipes, kos drums, kettle drums and bells.
