This Independence Day, Tapal Danedar, a cherished name in Pakistani households, took a creative leap to celebrate the nation’s 77th year of freedom. Known for its rich, comforting tea, Tapal Danedar sought to blend tradition with innovation, resulting in a campaign that resonated deeply with Pakistanis across the globe.
The heart of this celebration was a reimagined rendition of “Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan,” an anthem synonymous with national pride. Tapal Danedar, in collaboration with renowned music producer Ali Hamza, infused the national song with a unique touch by incorporating the traditional Jal Tarang technique. This musical approach involves creating melodies by striking water-filled vessels, a method that added a nostalgic yet modern twist to the beloved tune.
“Our goal was to create something that wasn’t just memorable but also deeply connected to our cultural roots,” explained by team Tapal. “By using the Jal Tarang concept, we aimed to celebrate our heritage in a new way, making the anthem accessible and engaging for everyone.”
Ali Hamza, known for his innovative musical contributions, was instrumental in this project. He embraced the Jal Tarang technique to craft a version of “Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan” that was both enchanting and emotionally resonant. “Using tea cups and spoons as instruments was a way to bring the anthem to life in an everyday context,” Hamza noted. “It’s about celebrating something as familiar as tea in a way that connects with everyone’s sense of national pride.”

From household kitchens to social media feeds, the campaign fostered a wave of creativity and unity.
As the campaign went viral, social media platforms were abuzz with user-generated content, showcasing a myriad of interpretations of the anthem. Families, friends, and influencers shared their own musical renditions, using tea cups, spoons, and other everyday items.
Tapal Danedar’s initiative went beyond the conventional. By merging the Jal Tarang concept with the essence of Pakistani tea culture, the brand created a meaningful connection with its audience. The project was not just about marketing; it was about celebrating a shared heritage and bringing people together through the universal joy of tea.
“This was a celebration of our nation’s spirit,” remarks shared by Tapal. “By incorporating traditional musical elements into something as cherished as tea, we aimed to create a moment that everyone could relate to and take pride in.”
In the end, Tapal Danedar’s celebration proved that even the simplest of traditions can be a powerful force for unity and national pride. The campaign reminded everyone that Tapal is not just a local tea brand producing tea—it’s a symbol of tradition, community, and the joy of shared experiences.
