A contemporary instrumental fusion/funk band, Mughal-e-Funk is a combination of ambient music, groovy melodies and incredibly inventive percussion and bass parts.

Comprising four members, the line-up includes Kami Paul on the drums, Rufus Shahzad on synths and keyboard, Rakae Jamil on Sitar and Farhan Ali on the bass. The band has been working on original compositions since 2015, and have performed at various events in Karachi, Lahore and Hyderabad.

The band’s sound as well as their name is inspired by the Mughal Era, and the compositions are named after the Mughal Emperors of the time. The compositions are musical interpretations of the lives and cultural contributions of the Mughal Emperors in the realms of art, music, poetry and literature.
