"Khabaram raseed imshab ki nigaar khuahi aamad;" (Got the news tonight, the focus of my longings is coming) : Persian poetry of Amir Khusrow, sufi saint of the 13th-14th century. Where he takes breaks to speak, the singer is translating the content in Urdu for impact.
Absolutely! In their case particularly, they belong to a family (Gharana) who've been involved with Qawalli (this form of singing) for over 700 years now, associated with Nizamuddian Auliya (sufi scholar). For example, the farsi (persian) lyrics they're singing were written almost 700 years ago (By Amir Khusrau, a devotee of Nizamuddin Auliya).
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the first to introduce western touch within the classical and qawali music.His performances with Peter Gabriel and other western artists are just awesome.
Nusrat Fateh Ali started it, the fusion, the music industry and the traditional families needed this fusion to connect with the modern generation. We can't say it's 10 15 years old, the fusion evolved with passage of time, Rohail Hayat the producer also a musician brought a new vigor to it
Oh my God the song you recommended (when I get my hands on you) is from A Prairie Home Companion!! I love that show! I live in US but I'm from Pakistan and I listen to NPR on the radio and every Sunday that show would be on, on my drive from work. My drive was only 45 minutes but I'd listen to the whole show in my car outside my apartment. I can't believe you recommended this song! I haven't met or even heard of anyone else who listens to that show and it's so cool that you probably do or did. I know they changed their show's name and it's called "Live from Here" now but I liked the old name better. Anyway, thank you for your recommendation; I loved the song, I love A Prairie Home Companion, Mumford and Sons, and specially love Bob Dylan so this was a real treat. Thanks for giving light to Abu Muhammad and Fareed Ayyaz; I really like those guys too. And thank you for giving light to Pakistani music as well! I'm really happy that you like it. You're a gem of a person and I enjoy your insight/commentary on Pakistani music
Thanks very much for reacting to this. Your channel is one of the best reaction as you understand music and the beauty of the song than any other reaction channels out there...
These classics are no doubt extraordinary piece of art and so does your reaction and the grasp you show on the minor details which never occurs to us as a layman, is such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for being so uniquely awesome 👌
These lyrics are written by Ameer Khusro, a 13th century Indian poet, musician and singer. He discovered many raags/rhythms on which classical music of South Asia stands right now. I am really liking your interst in indian classical music. It is always great to watch a genuine reaction on music one really loves. Thank you!
It goes back to the 13th century. Abu'l Hasan Yamīn ud-Dīn Khusrau, popularly known as Amīr Khusrau, an Indo-Persian Sufi singer, musician, poet and scholar was the creator of this school of music called Qawwali.
Paan is a preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut widely consumed throughout Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia. It is chewed for its stimulant effects. After chewing, it is either spat out or swallowed. It makes the mouth dry and opens it up like mint.
Yupe he used to chew pan contains tobacco leaf and some other things, but he used to chew it during singing if u can catch him doing 😂.... Such a great personality, and thanks for this performance
This genre is called Qawali in which main singers with the help of chorus sings in a sitting position. These Qawalis were older traditions and were based on religious and spirituality and are quite long which are meant to incite spiritualism and devotion in people. In the past these Qawalis were performed mainly on the shrines of saints where many people come to pay respect to them. That’s why these Qawalis have religious themes. Many of the poetries of Sufi saints were preserverd through these Qawalis through many centuries. As most of the poetry of Sufi saints were not written in those times but kept alive through oral traditions. Later these Qawalis got more popularity with Television and radio. these Qawalis were sung by special families who get training from very early age In this kind of singing. Qawali singers are trained in Hindustani classical music and they get education about Raags and they use it with poetry. Coke studio did good job in presentation of these Qawalis with modern instrument
as a Pakistani I always wonder how would our ancestors react to Coke Studio music (this fusion between eastern and western music), what would be their reaction to all this if they listen it first time...
I loved all your reactions and please please please please react to Mundari by Ustad Naseer-ud-din Saami Naina de Akhay by Rizwan & Muazzam both are from Coke Studio and Produced by Rohail Hyatt. These two songs are absolute gems and the technicalities are just mind blowing.
This genre of music is known as "Qawwali", derived from the Urdu/Arabic/Persian word "Qaul", meaning "Saying", so Qawwali means "Sayings of spiritual Intellectuals and Sufi Saints of Islam"... Qawwal is the one who sings Qawwali.. Qawwali starts from 13th century founded by the renowned Sufi Saint and spiritual Poet Hazrat Ameer Khusrow Dehlvi, a Sufi Saint of Chishti order in Dehli, India. Besides Qawwali, Tabla(the bowl drum) is also Hazrat Ameer Khusrow's invention. He brought people to the religion of spiritualism and humanity using this unique genre of music, because people of India(now splitted into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) were fond of Indian classical music which was mainly comprised of vocals and a very few words. He added words and full meaningful sentences of poetry to this classical music and morphed it into Qawwali. He used to write poetry and sing qawwali for his spiritual teacher and one of the most famous Sufis of the Islamic word "Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya" who's motto was "Love all and hate none". Ameer Khusrow further made an association of his cherry picked kids of very young age with exceptional vocal talent of Ddhli at that time and used to polish abilities and teach them the skill of Qawwali and spiritual poetry, aslo used to educate those who couldn't afford institutional fees. He was an institute himself. He named that student group as "Qawwal Bachay" means "Qawwal Kids". "Samad bin Ibrahim" wss one of those talented students, and Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad Qawwal are the biological descendents of Samad bin Ibrahim Qawwal. Their family lived in Dehli until Independence of Pakistan, their father "Munshi RaziUddin" (a legend of Qawwali, Munshi is the Title of Master of Qawwali, just like a black belt) moved from New Dehli, India to Karachi, Pakistan on 14 August 1947 on the day of independence. Now Fareez Ayaz and Abu Muhammad Qawwal are listened and respected both in india and Pakistan... Sorry for this long description that you'd probably never bother to read. :)
Plz react to their another video song MORI BANGRI coke studio same season.....u will listen music u never listened And never expected..its another world music
You should actually request Rohail Hayat (producer and the driving force behind most of Coke Studio seasons) for a chat on this channel. Please check out his talk he gave at Harvard few years ago.
What Rohail Hyatt did beautifully was mix the western with the eastern classical music to get the Pakistani involved in our ancient musical tradition once again. Because before Coke Studio Pakistanis were listening to meaningless Indian songs that had to meaning and it was just something to listen to but he added a new meaning into music and get our youth get involved once again in this beautiful music once again because it was a dying art and only a few people were carrying on the tradition that belonged to those ancient houses of Nizam Ud Din Auliya and Amir Khusrau. And this was written by Hazrat Amir Khusrau for his beloved master and teacher Nizam Ud Din Auliya who started this qawali tradition in the subcontinent and basically brought Sufi Islam to the masses. Another pick from me would be "Ustad Naseer Ud Din Sami" is belongs to the oldest qawali house of the subcontinent and he is also in a league of his own. I would also suggest Shikwa by these two which was written by the Great Allama Iqbal who is the national poet of Pakistan and a world renowned philosopher. When he wrote Shikwa all the clerics of the subcontinent gave a fatwa against him because it was a complaint to God that the muslims were suffering and there was only one muslim ruled state in the world which was the Ottoman Empire and he wrote it to wake up the youth of the subcontinent and strive for freedom from the British. When he wrote "Jawab e Shikwa" which was the answer to the "Shikwa" meaning complaint then all those clerics who gave a fatwa against him couldnt be more complimentary of the Great Allama Iqbal. Its a beaituful rendition between a man and God where the man is putting forward his complaints before God and he gets a supposed reply.
The rendition of Khabar e Tahayyur e Ishq on Tasavvuf channel isn't complete and most of the others are just audio/lyrical video with a lot of unnecessary editing. If you find a good version of this performance by Ustad Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad, please post here.
'Fusion' that's what Rohail Hyatt do best. Fusing eastern classical with western rock without losing essence of both genres. You'll find the difference bw Rohail's and other musicians production which is fearless Fusion.
Its all about poetry man, written centuries ago with perfection for love full of emotions. Best thing about this poetry it is intentionally written so it is open for multiple interpretations. Poetry in Pakistan is still big. Which reminds me of what Riz Ahmed mentioned about Pakistan on Kimmy Kimmel (4 min into the video) how in Pakistan Poets are held in such high esteem. Video link below (not necessarily i agree with everything he said btw lol). ua-cam.com/video/4FRdiCT3LBE/v-deo.html

In indopak and perhaps in central asia hands and finger are visulisation of the vocal notes and chords...a bit like mystro conducting orchestra. This is more so when its difficult and complex. Those with discerning hear will know these types of muscial genre is amagamation of central asia, persian and middleastern and hindustani music.... an islimc crystrlisation of art form infusing all tradition it came in contact with.

The whole purpose of Sufi music is to connect the Soul with its Source ( The Creator).
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the first to introduce western touch within the classical and qawali music.His performances with Peter Gabriel and other western artists are just awesome.
RIP Farhad Humayun
the man on the Drums and the Lead for the band Overload died really young
The last 5 mins of this performance always gets me emotional where they talk about sacrificing deer.
Hey thanks for reacting to this, I have been recommending this to folks for over a year, I have posted this atleast a 100 times. But no one cared.

Abu ayaz singing without paan is like night without the moon. 😁
I had requested this song in my previous comment happy to see you reacting on this one...
These lyrics are written by Ameer Khusro, a 13th century Indian poet, musician and singer. He discovered many raags/rhythms on which classical music of South Asia stands right now.
I am really liking your interst in indian classical music. It is always great to watch a genuine reaction on music one really loves. Thank you!
The "twists" that you pointed out are called HARKATS (movements) in the classical music language ❤️
It goes back to the 13th century. Abu'l Hasan Yamīn ud-Dīn Khusrau, popularly known as Amīr Khusrau, an Indo-Persian Sufi singer, musician, poet and scholar was the creator of this school of music called Qawwali.
Yes it is 💖 we blessed we Pakistan God bless you big bro
Yes bro, Qawali is centuries old tradition. And yeah it's a blend of "New & old" also of "East & West" and of "Modern & contemporary"
Thank U so much for KHABRAMRASEEDA
Paan is a preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut widely consumed throughout Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia. It is chewed for its stimulant effects. After chewing, it is either spat out or swallowed.
It makes the mouth dry and opens it up like mint.
The bass player is very professional to play !!!
Yeah, you are right Sir, its a combination of classical and pop music
Yupe he used to chew pan contains tobacco leaf and some other things, but he used to chew it during singing if u can catch him doing 😂.... Such a great personality, and thanks for this performance
