I am looking for singers to record new versions for the songs I remixed by NFAK and the Nooran Sisters. Solo male and female duos. If you are capable of singing these songs, doing the vocal solos, and record yourself with a professional quality, please send me an email.
That is strange. I just heard this absolute masterpiece few days ago and I was blown by this man's voice. It also remainded me of spanish flamenco singing, but the music itself has some Balkan vibes (chords progressions, for example) . It's just mindblowing that Andre managed to put some Pantera in this melody, and yet it all sounds so natural and like integral version of this song. The best thing I've heard in many years. Thanks to mr. Khan, the lady who wrote lyrics all those centuries ago and to you, Andre, for this musical delight. Music is, obviously, universal language. And thank you, algorithm,for bringing me here.
Most people will not realise Andre's genius behind this arrangement. He literally recomposed the song to fit into the western musical lingua, while preserving the eastern essence and distilled the best of both traditions.
It's not written by mirabai why y'all believing some priest with no evidence. It's written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri. Search his ghazal by the title "Sanson ki mala pe simrun me nis-din ka naam"
@@AbrEBaraan "संसन की माला पे" (हिंदी: सामा Mam कीली; "सांसों की माला पर") एक हिंदी भक्ति कविता है जिसे लिखा गया है Mirabai 16 वीं शताब्दी में। यह कई में से एक है bhajans उसने सम्मान में लिखा भगवान कृष्ण। इसे बाद में एक गीत के रूप में फिर से लिखा गया और इसके द्वारा प्रदर्शन किया गया नुसरत फतेह अली खान 1979 में अपनी शादी के दौरान भारत की पहली यात्रा के दौरान ऋषि कपूर।[1][2] यह गीत अक्सर हिंदू भक्ति सभाओं में गाया जाता है। Go and verify on wikipedia too! Tufail just made it sound like Song.Original is Meerabai!!!
TRANSLATION AND MEANING: Andre my man love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Thank you. For you and other listeners - It is almost impossible to capture the emotion of this song in any other language and originally it is much longer. But it is a soul shaking experience to listen to this while understanding the context and meaning, here is a rough english translation and my attempt at explaining the context of the excerpt used here: SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PI KA NAAM I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name) PREM KE RUNG MEIN AISE DOBI BUN GAYA AIK HE ROOP In the color of love, I drowned myself in such a way that we became one (enthralled in His/Her love to a point that the two of us are indistinguishable) PREM KI MAALA JAPTE JAPTE AAP BANI MEIN SHAYAAM Beading the garland of love my beloved's name I myself became God (SHAYAM) (in pursuit of this love I forgot about my own physical and spiritual existence) PREETAM KA KUCH DOSH NAHI HAI, WO TO HAI NIRDOSH My beloved is not guilty He is innocent he is blemish less (Do not blame Him/Her for my transgressions and claims, he/she is the most pure) APNE AAP SE BAATEIN KER KE HOO GAYI MEIN BADNAAM It is by talking to myself that I got a bad repute , bad name (from what you see, people are justified to think I am insane) JEEVAN KA SHINGAR HAI PREETAM, MAANG KA HAI SINDOOR My beloved is the beautification and adornment of life and vermilion in my hair (His/Her glory is unmatched, and beyond your comprehension - he/she exists in all things beautiful and is my pride) PREETAM KI NAZROON SE GIR KER JEENA HAI KISS KAAM If fallen from the eyes of my beloved, what is the point of living then (His/Her approval is all that I need, do not care about any of you/ anything else) SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PEE KA NAAM I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)

Happy Diwali. Never have I heard such an original remix of Nusrat before, this is mind blowing. Nusrat collaborated with many artists and produced Qawwali in pop genres to spread the music and message. He would be so proud of this. Please do more remixes. Love from England.
Sir it would be so nice to read if you give a little more respect to the legend by writing 'Ustad' before his name , or by simply writing 'Nusrat sahab'. Love from India 🙏💙
In Tokyo 1988 when he sang, the Japanese audience was so overpowered by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan they said this was the "Singing Buddha" This metal version is really awesome 👌
SONGFACT #2: she is known to be the epitome of devotion to the supreme lord. Being an ardent Krishna devotee this "Bhajan" aptly conveys her love for the "Krishna-ALL ATTRACTIVE".
Firstly it is a spiritual hymn written by a great Indian devotee Meera Bai to her lord (Lord Shri Krishna), then it is sung by legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab, that too in the form of a qawwali. And now in the modern age of heavy metal music its remixed version is truly a mesmerizing example of it. Truly music has no boundaries, it is free from any bondage.
@@Pit_Lord Right. Metal and other kinds of rock music are mostly based on simple riffs and usually have no melody for vocals (some vocal parts have only one note). And the same can be told about folk music. One simple traditional riff can have an infinite number of lyrics variations. A real song has a melody and meaningful lyrics while sung couplets don't.
@@goofy5607 I wanted to like them but it just didn't float my boat. Thanks for the recommendation though, I'm always interested in hearing interesting music
The slide and distortion of a metal guitar just lends itself so PERFECTLY to the discreet note structure of Indian AND Pakistani folk music. This isn't a meme of a joke. It's a genuine fusion discovery. Thank you for doing it with such respect.
SONGFACT: this song is not written by the singer himself. This is actually a hindu devotional poetry written by Meera Bai, 16th century poet in India. She is known to be the epitome of devotion to the supreme lord. Being an ardent Krishna devotee this "Bhajan" aptly conveys her love for the "Krishna-ALL ATTRACTIVE". Not to even mention Nusrat is one of the very few artists on the planet that could have done true justice to the depth and gist of it as intended by Meera Bai.
This song is ageless. You have just added a new tangent. I have listened to it through happiness, good times, bad times, sorrow ans so much more. Thank you!!
I had no other way to thank this other than support you, I didn't knew i needed a full qawwali sounding metal album till this song came out, been listening to this since it came out and never get tired of!
Nusrat was a powerhouse, but the other vocalist was unbelievable. Those sustained notes and micro notes, and inflections were divine. I have never heard anything like it before. Blown away.
Please try to cover INTENSE Sufi songs like these over a course of a year .So that I can listen to them for the rest of my life n die peacefully . Because this is EPIC !!! God bless you ! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
This guy is from Pakistan but we Indians loved him like he was our own . Pakistan and India have had issues in past but damn they have good musicians. I am happy for you discovered him inspite of being a non Hindi speaker . You also did justice to this song .
hey there, i am from Pakistan. India and Pakistan are neighbors and both people want to live peacefully its just politics and army does not want us to live in harmony, i hope things get better in future
I am a die hard fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab and this song is one my favs. But this composition is now my forever "get up and fight back" song. So energizing. This is like best of both worlds.
@@eccehomonohomo So this song was originally written by Mirabai in 16th century. She was a great devotee of Lord Krishna, so much that he became the love of her life and this song is dedicated to him. In this she is saying that "I bead the name of my beloved in garland of my breath" (rough translation)
I've never heard of this singer/song before, I mean I live in Europe.. but since this video came out, I'm regularly coming to hear this masterpiece, even though I don't understand language I can feel great emotion, amazing
I've been on youtube since 2005 and this is the first time I've left a comment. This is a musical masterpiece, I listened to it the day it was posted and have listened to it every day since. You somehow took a non-western piece of music, based on beautiful 16th century hindu mystic poetry, and made it digestible to ears accustomed to western music, without losing the eastern aspects of it. My girlfriend is from Pakistan, and obviously speaks Urdu/Hindi/etc, and when I asked her to translate it she tries her best, but says a lot of it can't even be properly expressed in English. But even from the basic translation she's given me it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. I don't see how this can ever be topped, I don't use the term masterpiece lightly, this is perfection, the fact that you were able to so naturally combine these two styles into a beautiful symphony blows me away. I've been a musician my entire life and have listened to nusrat fateh ali khan for a few years now, and knowing the original recordings I could have never imagined it presented this way, and certainly could have never done this myself.
yes its a beautiful piece though it is not hindu mystic origin. it traditional sufi style origin afghani/pakistani islamic turkish origin. rock on piece!
@@sanguine9031 The original poem was by the hindu mystic poet Mirabai, and was about her devotion to lord Krishna, written in the early 1500s if I remember correctly. But yes the song/music is qawwali and the style is sufi, but the lyrics themselves were originally about Krishna. They were able to take that poem and apply it to Allah instead of Krishna.

Every time you demonstrate you're part of the class of musicians who don't just cover (which is fine don't get me wrong), but you synthesize something entirely incredible while still being seriously complimentary to the source material. Juliaplaysgroove is another who comes to mind, imo.
That's why I love them. Other than the "Karen" videos, these are a beautifully respectful reinterpretation of interesting music around the world. I have gone on from these videos to look at the regional music of each area....like a personal music appreciation course.
That’s the difference between Andre and, say, Leo Moracchioli. Leo always sounds like he’s he’s just having fun and kidding around (nothing wrong with that, again), but Andre sounds like he takes the stuff he covers very seriously.
You’re bringing together the two music genres I love that I thought were two separate ends of a spectrum, AND you are doing it so well. You are a blessing. Thank you Andre ❤
I grew up listening to Irish and American folk music. Later I fell in love with Metal and Hardcore. If you look at the lyrics to a lot of folk songs, they’re quite sad and dark. I’ve always dreamed of hearing those old sad, dark ballads made into metal songs.
Man- wherever it happens, metal is to oral tradition as the sword is to the Hammer. Oral tradition was made before to pass down The Way- and relied on the basic rythmm. Our hearts. It's literally a steady, driving rythm. Perfect for memory, dance, and unifying a group. Foundational Metal and rock drumming follows the same principals- building rythmms and delivering on the heart steady downbeat. Headbanging is unavoidable for a reason.

You couldn't have done this without understanding the lyrics first. How could you literally uplift and deepen the strength of emotion this qawali originally emits. Not only does it sound augmented, but every note is rightfully inserted and connects, both musically and with its natural spirit. Job well done.

The new System of a Down album fucking SLAPS. Their best work yet. (I'm not racist, i know they're Armenian. You can't say this doesn't kind of sound like them)
This is Andre's most beautiful cover. The source music has depth and a harmonic structure perfectly suited to metal. This is an emotional masterpiece. More like this please.
It's like you "translate" this Pakistani music for all of us. I've listened to the original and I would never have picked up the strong, even religious feeling present in it just by hearing that alone. Fantastic. Continue please!
Yea no kidding, i went on a info hunt to find all about the song and the singer yesterday. Any other songs by him that you would reccomend in a similar vein?

⭐️ Andre you have answered my prayers . As a Pakistani who loves both qawwali and metal - you have perfectly remixed my favourite song and I love you eternally for that . THANK YOU
@@hasnainyunus1460 no no I know Pakistani music I'm from Punjab (India) myself. NFAK is my favourite artist. Just that I didn't hear him with metal before and it's phenomenal. Didn't think he could be elevated, but this definitely did elevate the experience that NFAK is
That is so far beyond epic, I don't have the superlatives to describe it. Sounds incredibly fitting, and proves we should all listen to more Pakistani folk music. Amazing.
Absolutely incredible. There are hundreds of hours recorded music by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. You could literally create an entire album with your talent. I’d pay for that, 100%. Keep up the great work.

OMG in 1993 I was a writer on my college newspaper and I interviewed NFAK after he performed a Qawwali concert on campus. What an amazing night. It was basically metal without having to have metal. The most amazing part was when people would get up, run up on stage (in a big fancy theater) and make it rain on the singers! After the show there were thousands of bills lying on the stage. It was the most exciting event I’d ever been to. Andre, every single time you create a video, you add goodness to what was already there. You are the best.
@@mariumqadir686 I wish I had! I just took tons of notes and write it up. I kept a physical copy of the paper but after several moves (and 30 years later) I don’t think I know where it is anymore. I should go through my old stuff again to see if I could find it. It truly felt like I was interviewing the likes of Paul McCartney or something. This was also at the height of his collaborations with Peter Gabriel and Real World Records.
Love the indian metal videos that you're putting out. Have listened to a lot of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan over the years, and this is a new way to appreciate his music! Love your work with the Nooran sisters as well. Hope they are open to collaborating directly with you, and you can all go on tour together someday!

This is music that goes beyond goosebumps, it goes to your heart... I don't know much about Pakistani culture or religion, yet I just started crying at 3:50.. Thank you for bringing people together through music Greetings from Mexico.
Appreciate your universal message, but I must point out that there is no such thing as "Pakistani" culture or religion. Pakistan is a 20th century state carved out of the homeland of various ancient Indian ethnicities like Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri etc. on the basis of Islamic separatism. Converted Indians of various others regional ethnicities from the rest of India also migrated to West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) at the time of partition in 1947, and also later. They are known as "Mujahirs" in current Pakistan. The state religion of Pakistan, Islam, is a foreign ideology that entered the Indian subcontinent via violent imperialism about a 1000 years ago. The material culture in Pakistan, however, continues to be a mishmash largely of Indian classical culture and regional folk traditions native to north and northwest India. In the last 75 years, the state of Pakistan has managed to more or less wipe out the native faiths (Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism) and languages (Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pashto etc.) in favour of Islam and Urdu (an Arabized, Persianized version of a native North Indian vernacular that was used as court language during the brutal Islamic rule of India). Even this very song is originally a bhajan (Hindu devotional composition) written and composed by a legendary 16th century Lord Krishna devotee named Meerabai (a woman). All "Pakistani" music is actually Indian music based on the 'ragas' of the Hindustani Classical system, which is one of two branches of Indian Classical music (the other being Carnatic) based on our ancient Sanskrit scriptures and treatises like Natyashastra.

@@thedescanteer I respect that and I don't know much about Pakistani history or politics, but this comment triggers me on a different level. I am Ukrainian and what you say about Pakistan a lot of Russians say about my country. That there is no such thing as Ukrainian culture, that our language is just Russian smeared with Polish and Hungarian, that we are just the black sheep of the great Russia, some even say that there is no such country as Ukraine, that all Ukrainians are just Russian separatists spoiled and tainted by the West. I don't really even care for Pakistan, but after certain events reading a comment that a country doesn't have a culture and is just based on separatism just feels wrong.
@@MegaMalfar It might feel wrong to you or trigger you because of recent acts of violent imperialism by a bigger militaristic power/ideology on your country, but it makes no sense for you to superimpose that experience on another part of the world with an exactly opposite colonial history while disregarding basic facts and very recent history. If anything, it is the ancient civilization of Bharatvarsh (India) that has been victimized by persistent invasions and both physical and cultural genocide for a 1000 years now - culminating in the British using Political Islam to balkanize this ancient land overnight in 1947. My own roots are in current Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and my family had to flee from persecution leaving everything behind when lines where drawn across Bengal based on religion, becoming refugees in our own country. The same happened to Punjabi, Sindhi and Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs when they had to flee to current India 1947 onwards. Religious minorities have been wiped out in these newly formed Islamic nations, but India has become the 2nd largest Muslim country in the world today. You should be comparing what Russia is doing to Ukraine today with what Islamic Nationalism (and later European Colonialism) has been doing to India for a millennium - not the other way around. Indian civilisation is the only one that has never practised violent imperialism in 5000 years; our culture spread organically over thousands of years. And we are the only remaining ancient civilization/polity that has lost most of it's homeland. Equating a shrinking India with expansionist powers like Communist Russia, China or Islamic Caliphate (Turkey, Middle-East, Pakistan etc. are all part of it) is not only ridiculously incorrect, it is actually portraying the oppressor as the victim and vice-versa.🙏
I've been on anti-depressants for a long time, so I don't get emotional too easily. But man, every time I listen to this song I get goosebumps and try hard not to cry, it's like I experience a sudden rush of emotions. Thanks a lot Andre for creating this masterpiece. And of course big respects for ustads Nusret Fateh Ali Khan & Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, may them rest in peace, and to Atta Fareed and all other ustads up on stage with them.

I think that folk music and metal music are linked by high emotionality. that's why the combination of both comes out so natural and beautiful. respect for the author for noticing this potential

Classical music is also metal but without electricity. LOVE YOU Andre. I don't know if you'll ever realize what a masterpiece you have created. It's very hard for people to swallow that something this good could be done with his voice. Mostly people end up destroying the art Nusrat wants to convey. On the other hand seeing your creativity, it seemed like it was meant to be. From the bottom of my heart ,Thank You. LOVE FROM INDIA
Sanson Ki Mala Pe: Literally- On the rosary of breath) is a bhajan originally sung by Meerabai (c. 1498 - c. 1557 AD), a Rajput princess and a Hindu mystic from Rajasthan in praise of Lord Krishna. The song has been sung by many famous artists, and is one of the most popular songs of legendary vocalist, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and was first played by Khan when he first visited India in 1979.
Dude you have found your calling. I love all your covers but this and the noorah sisters is pretty damn amazing! Making us discover amazing music we would have never heard otherwise.
Warhol was a cheap, insipid coke head. Don't do my man Andre like that. Andre is an absolute genius. His arrangements and metal renditions of folk music is just superhuman.
It's hijaz or nahawand *scale "maqam in arabic"* middle eastern scales that are really sad and melodic that is the most used scale for egyptian songs especially old ones and in quran too‚ you can hear more of it in egyptian singers but that's gonna be in Arabic something like um kulthum.. and in english there is tamino
What have you done !!!!❤ He was already unforgettable now want his all albums with such energetic rock touch .. i dont know y can't i listen something else now
This is fire. Glorious. I can't stop listening. Seriously, it doesn't get boring even after a hundred plays. I hope you are making some bank off of this.
Andre, this settles it. This video along with the last two videos with the Nooran sisters need to be on Spotify. I need to have access to this song to listen to. WE need it as listeners. This is divine work
To come up with this idea and to arrange,mix and master the whole thing is truly exceptional. Mad stuff. Music is indeed a universal language. Loved every bit! 👌

TRANSLATION AND MEANING:
Andre my man love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Thank you. For you and other listeners - It is almost impossible to capture the emotion of this song in any other language and originally it is much longer. But it is a soul shaking experience to listen to this while understanding the context and meaning, here is a rough english translation and my attempt at explaining the context of the excerpt used here:
SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PI KA NAAM
I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)
PREM KE RUNG MEIN AISE DOBI BUN GAYA AIK HE ROOP
In the color of love, I drowned myself in such a way that we became one (enthralled in His/Her love to a point that the two of us are indistinguishable)
PREM KI MAALA JAPTE JAPTE AAP BANI MEIN SHAYAAM
Beading the garland of love my beloved's name I myself became God (SHAYAM)
(in pursuit of this love I forgot about my own physical and spiritual existence)
PREETAM KA KUCH DOSH NAHI HAI, WO TO HAI NIRDOSH
My beloved is not guilty He is innocent he is blemish less (Do not blame Him/Her for my transgressions and claims, he/she is the most pure)
APNE AAP SE BAATEIN KER KE HOO GAYI MEIN BADNAAM
It is by talking to myself that I got a bad repute , bad name (from what you see, people are justified to think I am insane)
JEEVAN KA SHINGAR HAI PREETAM, MAANG KA HAI SINDOOR
My beloved is the beautification and adornment of life and vermilion in my hair (His/Her glory is unmatched, and beyond your comprehension - he/she exists in all things beautiful and is my pride)
PREETAM KI NAZROON SE GIR KER JEENA HAI KISS KAAM
If fallen from the eyes of my beloved, what is the point of living then (His/Her approval is all that I need, do not care about any of you/ anything else)
SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PEE KA NAAM
I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)
Wonderful, thank you.

Calling him a singer puts him in the same category as other singers. Pakistanis call him ustaad, which means Master.
This shows how often oriental scales are used in metal music. And how close metal is to folk and country music worldwide.
Exactly!! (Except this scale is just natural minor, which is also common in western music)
This makes me wish for an Andre Antunes and Arany Zoltan crossover
Alternatively, it shows us that metal isn’t as unique as many would like to believe.
@@Pit_Lord Right. Metal and other kinds of rock music are mostly based on simple riffs and usually have no melody for vocals (some vocal parts have only one note). And the same can be told about folk music. One simple traditional riff can have an infinite number of lyrics variations. A real song has a melody and meaningful lyrics while sung couplets don't.
Qawwali has always had similarities with rock.

I've never heard of this singer/song before, I mean I live in Europe.. but since this video came out, I'm regularly coming to hear this masterpiece, even though I don't understand language I can feel great emotion, amazing
Never gets old. Thank You Andre Antunes for revitalizing this master piece. Respects from Pakistan.
I've been on youtube since 2005 and this is the first time I've left a comment.
This is a musical masterpiece, I listened to it the day it was posted and have listened to it every day since. You somehow took a non-western piece of music, based on beautiful 16th century hindu mystic poetry, and made it digestible to ears accustomed to western music, without losing the eastern aspects of it.
My girlfriend is from Pakistan, and obviously speaks Urdu/Hindi/etc, and when I asked her to translate it she tries her best, but says a lot of it can't even be properly expressed in English. But even from the basic translation she's given me it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life.
I don't see how this can ever be topped, I don't use the term masterpiece lightly, this is perfection, the fact that you were able to so naturally combine these two styles into a beautiful symphony blows me away. I've been a musician my entire life and have listened to nusrat fateh ali khan for a few years now, and knowing the original recordings I could have never imagined it presented this way, and certainly could have never done this myself.
yes its a beautiful piece though it is not hindu mystic origin. it traditional sufi style origin afghani/pakistani islamic turkish origin. rock on piece!
@@sanguine9031 The original poem was by the hindu mystic poet Mirabai, and was about her devotion to lord Krishna, written in the early 1500s if I remember correctly.
But yes the song/music is qawwali and the style is sufi, but the lyrics themselves were originally about Krishna. They were able to take that poem and apply it to Allah instead of Krishna.

That’s the difference between Andre and, say, Leo Moracchioli. Leo always sounds like he’s he’s just having fun and kidding around (nothing wrong with that, again), but Andre sounds like he takes the stuff he covers very seriously.

I grew up listening to Irish and American folk music. Later I fell in love with Metal and Hardcore. If you look at the lyrics to a lot of folk songs, they’re quite sad and dark. I’ve always dreamed of hearing those old sad, dark ballads made into metal songs.

Man- wherever it happens, metal is to oral tradition as the sword is to the Hammer.
Oral tradition was made before to pass down The Way- and relied on the basic rythmm. Our hearts. It's literally a steady, driving rythm. Perfect for memory, dance, and unifying a group.
Foundational Metal and rock drumming follows the same principals- building rythmms and delivering on the heart steady downbeat. Headbanging is unavoidable for a reason.
Same. And it's such a beautiful medley, one could never have imagined.

The most amazing part was when people would get up, run up on stage (in a big fancy theater) and make it rain on the singers! After the show there were thousands of bills lying on the stage. It was the most exciting event I’d ever been to. Andre, every single time you create a video, you add goodness to what was already there. You are the best.

Greetings from Mexico.
Appreciate your universal message, but I must point out that there is no such thing as "Pakistani" culture or religion. Pakistan is a 20th century state carved out of the homeland of various ancient Indian ethnicities like Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri etc. on the basis of Islamic separatism. Converted Indians of various others regional ethnicities from the rest of India also migrated to West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) at the time of partition in 1947, and also later. They are known as "Mujahirs" in current Pakistan. The state religion of Pakistan, Islam, is a foreign ideology that entered the Indian subcontinent via violent imperialism about a 1000 years ago. The material culture in Pakistan, however, continues to be a mishmash largely of Indian classical culture and regional folk traditions native to north and northwest India. In the last 75 years, the state of Pakistan has managed to more or less wipe out the native faiths (Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism) and languages (Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pashto etc.) in favour of Islam and Urdu (an Arabized, Persianized version of a native North Indian vernacular that was used as court language during the brutal Islamic rule of India). Even this very song is originally a bhajan (Hindu devotional composition) written and composed by a legendary 16th century Lord Krishna devotee named Meerabai (a woman). All "Pakistani" music is actually Indian music based on the 'ragas' of the Hindustani Classical system, which is one of two branches of Indian Classical music (the other being Carnatic) based on our ancient Sanskrit scriptures and treatises like Natyashastra.

@@MegaMalfar It might feel wrong to you or trigger you because of recent acts of violent imperialism by a bigger militaristic power/ideology on your country, but it makes no sense for you to superimpose that experience on another part of the world with an exactly opposite colonial history while disregarding basic facts and very recent history. If anything, it is the ancient civilization of Bharatvarsh (India) that has been victimized by persistent invasions and both physical and cultural genocide for a 1000 years now - culminating in the British using Political Islam to balkanize this ancient land overnight in 1947. My own roots are in current Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and my family had to flee from persecution leaving everything behind when lines where drawn across Bengal based on religion, becoming refugees in our own country. The same happened to Punjabi, Sindhi and Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs when they had to flee to current India 1947 onwards. Religious minorities have been wiped out in these newly formed Islamic nations, but India has become the 2nd largest Muslim country in the world today. You should be comparing what Russia is doing to Ukraine today with what Islamic Nationalism (and later European Colonialism) has been doing to India for a millennium - not the other way around. Indian civilisation is the only one that has never practised violent imperialism in 5000 years; our culture spread organically over thousands of years. And we are the only remaining ancient civilization/polity that has lost most of it's homeland. Equating a shrinking India with expansionist powers like Communist Russia, China or Islamic Caliphate (Turkey, Middle-East, Pakistan etc. are all part of it) is not only ridiculously incorrect, it is actually portraying the oppressor as the victim and vice-versa.🙏
There are countless versions of such melody but i never heard this insane work. I mean crazy. A treat to ears 🔥
I've been on anti-depressants for a long time, so I don't get emotional too easily. But man, every time I listen to this song I get goosebumps and try hard not to cry, it's like I experience a sudden rush of emotions. Thanks a lot Andre for creating this masterpiece. And of course big respects for ustads Nusret Fateh Ali Khan & Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, may them rest in peace, and to Atta Fareed and all other ustads up on stage with them.
This is qawwali music, praising the Lord. Your reaction is exactly the response this kind of music is made for. Be blessed🙏🏾
Not related but its actually sad that this art form has died in the part of the world that created it.
I can relate. I'm not depressed but it's a stressful part of my life, and this song's been my best friend.
If the music changed your mood in a positive direction, then it's an antidepressent with zero side effects. Be well
wish you good health and way out of having to take those, friend...stay strong..next day may always bring better in life..stay strong
Petition for an hour long version of this!
Dude, I literally listen to it every day! Amazing, fantastic!
That Singer Nusrat Fateh Ali khan is from My Country Pakistan ❤️
@@Lifeline00014after listening to this version from André I've been finding great music from Pakistan through UA-cam, your singers put so much love into their songs, I love it, cheers from Portugal ❤
@@Lifeline00014 he's one of the best singers in existence.
Subscribed sir!! Really appreciate your efforts ,these fusions are just lit af in themselves, kepp doing it brother ❤️🙏🏼
this should take the world by storm.....man this is pure art...the mashup, the vocals...the solo...pure art man, pure art...
where are you from? just curious
@@ubermensche60 Syrian
It will become biggest hit of all times!
Everything you touch becomes a masterpiece. It's like a Midas touch, but an Andre touch instead
It was already a masterpiece though.
A metal touch
Regarding Midas... I oftenly say Phil Collins has the Sadim touch, the Midas touch on the contrary: everything he touches turns into poo.
it's already a masterpiece and Ustad(Master) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is an Evergreen legend🥲
Honestly we need an album of this stuff.
Yeah bach... ❤
I am not sure if Andre himself knows what he has done. Man! You have nailed it. You made a masterpiece out of a masterpiece. Just love you ❤ Nusrat Sahib + Metal. Whoooooo. Man… I can listen to this for hours on repeat.
You do such an amazing job of hilighting their vocal style. This sounds so epic 🤘
I think that folk music and metal music are linked by high emotionality. that's why the combination of both comes out so natural and beautiful. respect for the author for noticing this potential
Metal is folk from the Netherlands 💜
Or music is a universal language
@@jackimoon8284 What?
Well said.
2:35 hits you right in the feelings👌🏽
I learned his name is Atta Fareed, bloody amazing.
True🔥🔥
@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin although he ain't so popular like other Qawwals , in current generation it's Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (nephew of NFAK) , Rahat is there in another video of NFAK that Andre remixed , (Dum Mustt Mustt)
That was way too emotional for me to handle!
@@jespreeth same
0:16 goosebumps 🙌
How? How is this so good? I don't speak or can properly recognize any languages from South-Asia, I am a Latino living in Norway, like this is so foreign to me but so good I have a hard time comprehending why it is so outstanding.
I just love how you use your instruments! Never used instruments to overshadow the original work, only to amplify what was already there. Truly masterful work!
This one is your best so far and I have downloaded a few of your mixes for UA-cam Music to have on loop.
Great job making this music, words fall short from my feelings on your work. Take care! 👋
Pakistan is south asia, not middle east.... middle east is in west asia
@@denizpamir thank you I will correct it
@@denizpamir the Song is a Meerabai Bhajan dedicated to Lord Krishna sung in Qawali style by Shahenshah e Qawaali Nusrat Saab...It's our Collective Heritage
@@TrendingTigerBerserk it really is our collective heritage, very well stated brother
i guess that is how music is so fundamental to humanity
Classical music is also metal but without electricity. LOVE YOU Andre. I don't know if you'll ever realize what a masterpiece you have created. It's very hard for people to swallow that something this good could be done with his voice. Mostly people end up destroying the art Nusrat wants to convey. On the other hand seeing your creativity, it seemed like it was meant to be. From the bottom of my heart ,Thank You.
LOVE FROM INDIA
It is Bhajan, Hindu Devotional songs written by princess Mira Bai ji for Lord Krishna
In Pakistan, we don't call him by his name. We just call him ustaad and it's understood almost by everybody.
Sufi and Qawali musicis not electricity, it's literally food for the soul.
Remind me to come here again.
You should rewatch now
come / 5 april 2024
11/8/2024 come
Reminder 😊
🎶🎸⏰️
I have tears in my eyes.. and gratitude in my heart... God bless you! ❤
I'm just blown away! Andre is so talented. More like this please!
You made Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan come alive again ❤️❤️❤️
Rest in peace nusrat fateh ali khan
He was never dead to us for those who had him in our hearts
@@Senator107 respect from kuwait
He was never dead honestly :) ..
Such a magnificent voice - sad that he’s gone
Sanson Ki Mala Pe: Literally- On the rosary of breath) is a bhajan originally sung by Meerabai (c. 1498 - c. 1557 AD), a Rajput princess and a Hindu mystic from Rajasthan in praise of Lord Krishna. The song has been sung by many famous artists, and is one of the most popular songs of legendary vocalist, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and was first played by Khan when he first visited India in 1979.
Thank you for sharing this information with us!
Thank you!
Amazing contextual comment, thanks!
Спасибо. Очень интересная информация
Thank you. I didn't realize he sung Hindu stories. I thought he was all Sufi. Wonderful to know.
I can’t THANK YOU ENOUGH for this one. I can’t explain my emotions right now. Just EXCEPTIONAL
Dude you have found your calling. I love all your covers but this and the noorah sisters is pretty damn amazing! Making us discover amazing music we would have never heard otherwise.
My thoughts exactly!
but no need "in style of" , Andreas's own is better than all as this one proves!
if I was rich I would single handly sponsor and make this fusion between eastern folk and western metal happen, someone with money, please do ir 🤘🤘🤘💥💥
Andre doesn’t just cover songs he artistically transforms them into something familiar but entirely new. He’s like the Andy Warhol of metal.
That’s dope
except andre has talent whereas warhol doesnt
Really, all good until the last line. Warhol is more like a video reaction youtuber. He literally has a video reaction while eating a burger
Warhol was a cheap, insipid coke head. Don't do my man Andre like that. Andre is an absolute genius. His arrangements and metal renditions of folk music is just superhuman.
2:33, Wow. Never felt something like that before. Watching and crying in a loop. Hats off man. 🔥🔥
Spot on. It's like an electric guitar with good sustain, and perfect use of whammy.
He wins this video, by a mile.
Guitar solo with using only vocals
It's hijaz or nahawand *scale "maqam in arabic"* middle eastern scales that are really sad and melodic that is the most used scale for egyptian songs especially old ones and in quran too‚ you can hear more of it in egyptian singers but that's gonna be in Arabic something like um kulthum.. and in english there is tamino
Fire hai bhai 🔥🔥
What have you done !!!!❤
He was already unforgettable now want his all albums with such energetic rock touch .. i dont know y can't i listen something else now
A unir culturas pela musica! Excelente!
Pensei exatamente o msm, a música realmente parece ser o " idioma " universal.
4:29
This is fire. Glorious. I can't stop listening. Seriously, it doesn't get boring even after a hundred plays. I hope you are making some bank off of this.
Totally agree
Oh yes! I'm addicted to this.
Love and passion made this piece. InshaAllah money will follow!
Andre, this settles it. This video along with the last two videos with the Nooran sisters need to be on Spotify. I need to have access to this song to listen to. WE need it as listeners. This is divine work
To come up with this idea and to arrange,mix and master the whole thing is truly exceptional. Mad stuff. Music is indeed a universal language. Loved every bit! 👌
These last three tracks you've done are so freaking beautiful. Opened up the world for me. Really hope you can do an album of them. Thank you so much for these. They are bringing good to the world and are my favorite music right now
Man You don’t know what you have created ❤❤❤
This is like hearing metal for the first time again.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
