Those are Legends , you have no idea my Friends . their families generations sing Qawalli back 800 Years . Greetings from Morocco to my Sufi Brothers and Sisters.
Adding a little more background to this, the lead, Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad belong to a family of Qawwaals that have been practising this form of art since the last 6 centuries. They are a gem of our culture.
its called pure classic Qawaali and this family has been singing this style of indian classical music since 12th century. Also this song was written and sung first time in the 12th century.
You reacted to my favourite Coke Studio's fusion of "Rung" so I had 'reax' to your 'reax' vid. It's hilarious and yet good. Rung is typically the first song played in any 'Qwaali' 'mehfil'. Qwaali is a traditional orchestra singing. There's never a set pattern to the singing. No sheet music ever. No plan. Mehfil is a music event. Playing 'Rung' meaning 'colour' song as the first song has a purpose. It's intention is to set the ambience of the event by calling attention to the colours God is blessing it with. Reax is funny, because as a musician he clearly is enthralled & baffled by the microtonal range and unique notes they hit when singing. The 'Ostinado', 'Counterpoint', & ' Polyphony' that's common in Qwaali throws him off. Even the 'peti' musical instrument confused him. He mistakes the voiced notes as words and vice versa. This kind of singing is common in "Classical Indian" music. That's the style name he's searching for. He not only missed the name but all the content including what could be great 'reax' material. The qwaali, "Sufi" thought, chishti order, the reverence Indic cultures express for teachers, 'aulia' is a higher grade of guide, etc. Don't forget they are chewing on 'paan' leaves mixed with chuna and katta that gives their mouths the red color ❤ But it's great because... It's a great find. He intrinsically felt it would be disrespectful to cut it off.
Glad you liked my reaction. I was a bit confused about a few things. It's very new to me so that's to be expected. I liked his hand gestures. I may not have known what was specifically going on but I enjoyed it just the same.
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic this was a 'fusion' version. As a music expert you should look them up in the non-fusion version. It's a tough form for many to like and understand. But please look it up using their names. Viramani did a documentary, 'Ajab Shar' that led many Indians to discover their talent.
10:20 ish. They saying why should I complain about ups ans dows of life... the divine has always been with me which ever up or down I been through... as his colours are all around us
In traditional classical subcontinental music(India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), the musicians have to be proficient enough to keep up with the singers, singers are expected to take random twist and turns. These classical singers are so steeped in their art they could perform with minimal instruments.
This style is called "Qawali" and it orginated in the subcontinent over a 1000 years and this is created in devotion to God but there are many variations of the lyrics of a loved one, praise for their teachers who started this style of singing, complaint to God, praise of God, its very diverse. Every qawali has a message of its own. You can turn on the captions of the videos because there are lyrics on pretty much every Coke Studio video. This is basically music from Sufi Islam which is philosophical and their whole purpose of life is devotion and bringing the message of love to the masses. If you ever heard of "Rumi" and his poetry he was also a sufi mystic and one of the greatest poets. These singers are direct descendants of Hazrat Amir Khusrau who basically invented this, these were sung in the courts of Kings and the structure is pretty much the same just with modern instruments.
Thank you for the explanation. I'll look up Rumi and see if I can find some of his poetry. I like learning about these things because there is always more to something than just a nice song.
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic So about Rumi only read his poetry translated by Jawed Mojadeddi and Dick Davis because the others have butchered it changed the meaning of it LITERALLY. Also the original is in Farsi so thats why i said translation.
@@faranqamar8130 very true there is a book and research showing how translation were intentionally "butchered" as you say often to remove the Islamic component to make it more palatable for secular audiences
Totally get what you said and ofcourse stayed till the end of the video, infact glad you did react to it as we are discovering these songs again with you (listening again after a long time or missed them before and listening first time) , btw they have performed on more than one songs in Coke Studio and its an absolute joy to listen to them specially Fareed Ayaz. This particular genre is called Qawali and these singers have been passed on the talent from generations and lyrics play a v imp part in these performances. If you wanna listen to a solid rock performance i would recommend listening to song "Jilawatan by Call teh band" from Pepsi Battle of the Bands another show from Pakistan. or maybe you can also react to famous song Sweet Child O'Mine cover from Nescafe Basement Pakistan.
Thanks. I did a little research and found out a few things you mentioned. I'll check out the things you suggested. I really like his, Fareed Ayaz's, expressive way of singing and all his hand gestures. I'm glad to have discovered them.
there is a genre of rock called Sufi rock originated by Junoon. I will love to watch your reaction to Junoon live Karachi performances for Dosti, Saean, and Buleya
Hi buddy. You re all alright in your music feeling. And as you re a musician I guess and I can tell. The experiences you got in your musician ears like we say in frebch L oreil musical. So I feel the same you re feeling naturally. I discovered this group so many times ago. And I find it very hard 5o share it. But this way a RUclips channel is a very good idea to share the same feeling of lestening to any kind of musical art. Thank you and keep going.. Yes some time for some translations in Arabic or any other language then English needs more time to explain. Cause songs are pains but exposing in an art WIch is music in this case. Thank you and continue. I support you.
The style of singing is known as Qawali. It's origin is close to spirituality especially in Islam. These verses and poems are 500 to 800 years old written by sufi muslim saints.
@@adnan86pk Thank you. I really liked Abu Muhammad. That is the fellow on the right with the sparkly hat, right? His expressive gestures and singing were a pleasure to watch.
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic welcome..and yes you identified him right. he belongs from a traditional music family which have been training music for generations.
In our part of the world learning classical music is the basic, even as qawwali, which is muslim devotional music. And once you know the music you dont need matching notes to make music. The background music is not traditional but even if it was there would b tabla and harmonium and the rest is the voice. And in this music what they are saying and how the say it and the soul they put in it is what is important. You can find many similar examples just in coke studio but also out of it. Some time it is off but completely in surr. And the impromptu singing intervention and overlaps are also developed and a part of this style. The repetition is the only constant, rest is all up to the main singers. To understand appreciate it some insight in to style is required. Listen to sanso ki mala pay simrun mai pi ka naam by nusrat fateh ali
Its a 700 years old composition. Why they are so much animated , thats because of lyrics which is again 700 years old too. The keyboard thing is an instrument called harmonium, The subject, a longing servant is calling his beloved master to dye him in his coolers... make him like He is...
Oh. Thank you. I knew it had something to do with dyeing a robe a color. I did like this very much. They're very expressive as they sing. They could probably tell a great story without even singing.
I never understand these kind of songs. I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate styles which are too unusual from what I'm used to I guess. It has to be have more pop music style inserted for me to tolerate it. Like my friend who loves simpler writing as in the Hunger Games or Harry Potter books but cannot appreciate Tolstoy nor even JRR Tolkien etc.
@@JohnCregoWorldMusic late to this but he means kangna from coke studio with the same brothers singing. Channel name may be Rohail Hyatt, musical director of earlier seasons
I am sorry man. I wish you knew about Music hitting notes and then those notes having riffs and littles notes. But you couldn't grasp it. I am sorry for your loss. You were not meant to listen this type of music.

Don't worry, we're still here listening. :)
