The Jupiters (Urdu: جوپیٹرز) were a Pakistani music band who are considered one of the pioneers of pop music in Pakistan. Although the band released only a few albums, it became a breeding ground for many notable future singers. The hit song "Yaaro Yehi Dosti Hai" sung by one of the vocalists Ali Azmat topped the charts in the early 1990s, and is still a famous number.[1]
The band disbanded in the late 1990s and is remembered as a party band in the city of Lahore. The band's drummer-cum-composer, Sahir Ali Bagga, became an influential composer in his solo career and was behind several hits by acclaimed singer, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.[2]
