"Man I'm losing sound and sight
Of all those who can tell me wrong from right
When all things beautiful and bright sink in the night
Yet there's still something in my heart
That can find a way to make a start
To turn up the signal, wipe out the noise"

Le meilleure de la religion, quand la transe mystique rejoint les anciennes idoles...une des raisons pour laquelle le soufisme a toujours été persécuté par les oulémas : il nous fait nous élever jusqu"à risquer de ne plus redescendre sur terre.

"Mustt Mustt"
(Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. 1991)

I just rediscovered an artist that’s been lost to me for years

When I was taking a South and Southeast Asian Cultures class in university I was introduced to a lot of remarkable performances. One of which was of the legendary Pakistani singer and songwriter Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997). When we put this man’s expressive qawwali performances up on the projector we were floored. It’s almost otherworldly how passionate he is about what he sings about.

A thread sharing some of the vocal #music from India / Pakistan.

I'm no expert but I would call most of these #qawwali

Qawwali - a form of devotional song, mystical, classical, a prayerful journey from exaltation to a trance-like state through rhythm, voice, intensity and pauses in breathing

Here are two from the legend #NusratFatehAliKhan
