"Ho Jamalo" is a Sindhi-language folk song and associated dance in the Sindhi culture.
[2] A Punjabi rendition of the song was performed by Ali Sethi and Humaira Arshad in season 11 of Coke Studio Pakistan.
According to one origin story, during British colonial rule, Jamalo Sheedi, a death-row prisoner in Sukkur, volunteered to test-drive a train across the newly constructed Sukkur Bridge (Lansdowne Bridge) in exchange for his freedom.
"[4] Another story goes that a fierce battle was fought somewhere in upper Sindh and the dwellers of the area were facing extreme challenges against the invaders.
At this juncture, a man named Jamal, who was very brave and courageous, led a small army to fight against the invaders.
