Hasan Raheem Submits ‘Bewajah’ for 2027 Grammy Awards in Two Categories
Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem has officially entered the race for the 2027 Grammy Awards, submitting his soulful track “Bewajah” for consideration in two categories. The announcement, made through an Instagram post on the Hasan Raheem Global page captioned “BEWAJAH | FOR YOUR GRAMMY® CONSIDERATION,” has set fans buzzing with excitement as Pakistani music eyes another moment on the world’s biggest music stage.
The Hasan Raheem Grammy Bewajah submission marks one of the most ambitious international moves of the young singer’s career, placing a song steeped in the culture of Gilgit-Baltistan before the voting members of the Recording Academy.
Hasan Raheem’s Grammy 2027 Bid: The Two Categories
According to reports, Hasan Raheem has put “Bewajah” forward in Best Music Video and Best Global Music Performance — two categories that together recognise both the song’s striking visuals and its cross-cultural musical identity.
Best Global Music Performance honours recordings rooted in diverse global traditions, while Best Music Video celebrates the artistry of the accompanying film. “Bewajah” brings both together: a track that blends Urdu and Shina lyrics with traditional sounds, paired with a music video shot against the towering mountains of northern Pakistan.
The video is a visual tribute to the region’s heritage, featuring traditional freestyle polo — the rugged, no-referee version of the sport famously played at the Shandur Polo Festival — alongside local dress and the dramatic landscapes of Gilgit-Baltistan, the singer’s native homeland.
‘Bewajah’: A Song Rooted in Gilgit-Baltistan’s Culture
What makes the Bewajah Grammy submission stand out is how deeply it carries the sounds and traditions of Gilgit-Baltistan to a wider audience. The song pairs heartfelt vocals with traditional percussion, weaving Shina — one of the region’s native languages — together with Urdu in a way that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted.
Hasan Raheem, who hails from Gilgit-Baltistan, has built his reputation on exactly this fusion: bringing northern Pakistan’s musical identity into mainstream pop without diluting it. “Bewajah” continues that journey, and its Grammy consideration bid turns a regional sound into a global contender.
For fans of Pakistani music, the submission is about more than one song. It is a statement that the country’s diverse regional cultures — from the valleys of the north to its urban centres — belong on the international stage.
Submission Is Not a Nomination — But It Is a Start
It is important to be clear about what this step means: a submission for Grammy consideration is not a nomination. It places “Bewajah” in the running ahead of the Academy’s voting rounds, where members will decide which entries make the shortlist.
The timeline is tight and timely. First-round voting closes on October 22, with the official nominees for the 2027 Grammys set to be announced on November 16. The 69th Grammy Awards ceremony itself is scheduled for February 7, 2027.
Raheem’s team will now be campaigning for the track in the crucial “for your consideration” window — the period when artists and labels lobby voting members, and when fan momentum can genuinely help an independent entry stand out.
Pakistan’s Grammy History: From Arooj Aftab to Hasan Raheem
Pakistani artists have been steadily writing themselves into Grammy history in recent years. Arooj Aftab won in 2022, becoming the first Pakistani artist to take home a Grammy Award — a landmark moment that opened doors for the country’s musicians on the global stage.
Since then, Pakistani talent has continued to surface at the awards: sound engineer Taurees Habib earned recognition for his work on Dune: Part Two, further proof that the country’s creative professionals are operating at the highest international level.
Now, fans will be watching closely to see whether Hasan Raheem’s “Bewajah” earns a nomination and takes Pakistani music one step further. A nod in either category — Best Global Music Performance or Best Music Video — would be a career-defining achievement for the singer and another milestone for the country’s music industry.
What Happens Next for ‘Bewajah’
With first-round voting closing on October 22, the next few days are critical. If “Bewajah” survives the first ballot, it will appear on the nominations list announced November 16 — and from there, anything is possible.
Regardless of the outcome, the Hasan Raheem Grammy 2027 campaign has already succeeded in one respect: it has put a Shina-Urdu song from the mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan in front of the global music industry’s most influential voters. For a generation of Pakistani artists watching from home, that visibility matters.
UrduPro will continue to follow this story as the Grammy nominations approach. Stay tuned for updates on whether “Bewajah” makes the final cut.
