Oh the tabla players can be really involved. Once I was at a live performance and the tabla guy went into a trance and played so beautifully, that the qawal (singer) went quite half way through the song and so did the keyboard player and the room went quite. Tabla guy didn't noticed and just kept playing for a good 2 mins before realising. The room gave him a standing ovation. That was an amazing experience
Rang also means Color As in many cultures, color is associated with Joy or Jubilance Therefore the "Rang" translate to an event of Hapiness as can be understood from the context of the song (This Style of singing is known as Qawali, Roughly translated for your Understanding, Singing associated with Sufism)
These are generational artists... Some of their families have been studying music for hundreds of years. This was written 700+ years ago by Amir Khusro for his spiritual master Nizamuddin Auliya. This form of singing is called Qawwali. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's uncle) is the greatest legend of Qawwali music. React to ............... Crest by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to see his wide range of vocals with a western touch. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has another famous nephew Muazzam Ali Khan. React to................Sawaal Kande Utte | Ali Azmat, Muazzam Ali Khan. You will definitely like it.
I just came across your channel and seeing you reacting, respecting and appreciating our music from Pakistan made me very happy. We are truly blessed to have masters here. The names in the lyrics refer to a lineage of saints and holy figures. Amir Khusrau (a great scholar, poet and philosopher) was a disciple to Khawaja Nizamuddin Auliya (a Sufi Muslim saint); so Khusrsau expresses his devotion and love throughout his lyrics to the saint. And through the music the expression continues to his lineage of sufi saints.
Amjad Sabri died a couple of months ago after this was recorded. He was shot and he couldn't watch this performance as it wasn't released by then. An amazing reaction as always tho ❤️ You should also react to Garaj Baras by Coke Studio Season 1. It's got that classical and rock fusion mix that coke studio was known for back then
As a fellow amateur musician I must congratulate for putting out an amazing detailed reaction. Few corrections/comments though, at 6:25 "you mentioned "another increase in the tempo", this is actually the impression we tend to get, however, technically speaking there isn't any tempo change as the time signature stayed the same. The vocalists kept singing in same time signature. What actually happened was that the Tabla doubled its time. This is a common practice in Qawali and ghazal genre. Second interesting thing in your video was your comparison of Eastern and Western music. You were surprisingly spot on in guessing that the Eastern music has room to improvise. The Western music and classical classical music is very structured however, Eastern classical music is very improvised. There are just two attributes defined, Raag and Taal. Taal means tempo or time signature. This basically defines that what percussion pattern and time signature Tabla needs to play and follow, some famous patterns are TinTaal (16/4), Kehrwa (8/4), Dadra (6/4) and Jhaptaal (10/4, this one was in used in Kangana by Fareed Ayaz). The other defined attribute is Raag which translates to Scale, or most accurately it translates to Modes. Basically it defines the list of notes to be played/sing and in both ascending and descending order and then singer and other musicians can improvise while staying within the confines of these rules, this was exactly what you noticed there.
There is another version of " Rang " in CS performed by Ustad Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad. Check that out too. Personally that one's my favourite. This version is more traditional qawali which is the original essence of the kalam. The version that i mentioned has a more progressive-electro trance fusion Also, i have seen many coaches' reactions to this performance. But you're the only person who notices that taal on the Tabla which i think is done only two times throughout this. Am a novice to what it is but it truly is something beautiful. This tabla player is amazing.
"Sawal kanday uttay" from coke studio will blow you away but i doubt you will ever get to enjoy it because you might not get enough comments or requests to check it out. A fusion of rock and classic, a masterpiece yet so underrated. Hope you make it to that track somehow.
This is amazing to see that some body from west is capable to understand a very different eastern music.music is for everybody.music shows that all humans are same.lots of love from canada pakistan
your musical observation is very good. in eastern classical musicians are given a lot of free hand during the performances thats why you get a raw feel to it. and that tabla is being played with dholki. Dholki is different instrument altogether. You should watch its video on youtube to find how it sounds when played alone. My recommendation would be to react to "Bol Hu".
Wait till you react to USTAD NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN. The mentor and uncle of RAHAT FATEH ALI KHAN. You will be mind blown by his performance. He is dubbed as the emperor of Qawwali(this form of music) ruclips.net/video/_dCa_3lFV94/видео.html Here he's doing a sargam(using syllables like Do Re Mi to instruct tabla player and harmonium player what to play). He's creating music right there in the moment. It's my favourite thing about Indian music, the improvisation.
This poem/song was written by Ameer Khusro(1253-1325AD) as a student for his spiritual teacher Nizam uddin, more than 700 years ago. Nizam uddin was considered a "true friend of God" like a saint and his shrine is in India. Ameer khusro's writings are timeless and pure. Khurso was sufi singer, musician, poet and a scholar during the Dehli kingdom.
Would you please consider to react on these 2 x NCB songs Gorak Dhanda: ruclips.net/video/WPrBRxG_nIU/видео.html Na Kaho: ruclips.net/video/m-Lf6cFmCTI/видео.html Regards
RIP Amjad sabri , may ALLAH BLESS SHOWERS OF Blessings in this holly month of RAMDAN nice reaction man Those names all about divine poetry and true message of humainty
Rang is Translated as color, the implication here is that of being colorful and cheerful and celebratory. The celebration and the joy is that of love. This genre is called qawwali. Its sung in memory of the practitioners of love and kindness. The names in this qawwali are the disciples of the Sufi saint Khawaja Moin uddin chisti ajmeri may blessings be on him. He is the one after whom the chishti sufi discipline is named. These verses titled Rang were also written by Ameer Khusro who also is a recipient of the colors of love from the same discipline. He was a disciple of Khawaja nizam uddin. One of the chishti saints.
This is one of my most favorite coke studio tracks. And such a great reaction. Thank you so much for such admiration towards our music. If you really wanna enjoy this particular song, listen to it while driving a car, it really turns into something else. And I think you should really react to Channa or Tajdar e Haram by Atif Aslam, two of Coke studio Pakistan's best tracks ever. I feel food and music are two things that have the power to truly bring people together, and seeing us all come together through music is such an endearing feeling. Lots of love from Pakistan Man.
and this sufi qawali is about the holy shrines situated in india for muslims but even many hindus visit the holy place that is in ajmer sharif rajasthan (india) khwaja ji's holy shrine and the other is in delhi(india) nizamuddin auliya's shrine an for visiting the holy shrine of nizamuddin auliya sarkar u first need to visit hazrat ameer khusro's holy shrine as this has a valid reason behind this story and sultan-ul-hind meaning king of india the head of all (wali's) send by allah in india to spread islam their head is 'khwaja gareeb nawaz' from were not even a single indivisual leaves empty handed these holy places of muslim's are known as dargas and khwaja ji is muhammed sarkar's blood from his family and son of 'hazrat ali'(son in law of muhammed sarkaar) from the 12 generation's
Actually the tablas are the pair of drums in the front , normally those are the only 2 drums played by the tabla player, but this guy had a “Dholak “ completely different percussive drum instrument in his lap and playing that along with the narrow tabla drum . His mastery is on another level to mash 2 instruments like that . Absolutely brilliant.
Amazing performance. I've been listening to it since the day it was released & it's as electrifying as it was on that day. Always makes your emotions dance. About the names you asked; these names are basically the names of Sufi Saints from which some migrated to Indian Subcontinent & some were born there. Their sole contribution is that they preached religious harmony & accentuated LOVE as a bridge to connect yourself with Divine. It is the result of their efforts that people in those divergent regions are co-existing peacefully, celebrating each other's holy festivals. Their teachings of inclusivity, plurality, peace, love, harmony, brotherhood & self-sacrificing are the ones which have made them eternal & their poetry ever-lasting. I've loved your reactions with every ounce of my being, especially that of Chhap Tilak. Let me tell you this; the eternal world of Sufi Music is teeming with such masterpieces. I would recommend you to listen more. Waiting for your next reaction. Lots of love 💕
Please do reaction video on “zakir Husain “ Horse running on tabla. He is really the maestro of tabla in India. And this video named “zakir Husain horse running “ on RUclips shows how good he is with tabla playing. Thanks
There is alot of room for improvisation in the Indian classical music. The chorus doesn't have a sheet to follow, they follow the lead singers and sometimes their improvisations can take the chorus by surprise too.
A great reaction video! This is an example of pure Sufi music. It would be helpful to read a little background of it. Here are some Coke Studio Recommendation: AAQA by Abida Parveen and Ali Sethi, Naina Morey by Javed Bashir and Akbar Ali, and Shikwa Jawab e Shikwa.
If you haven’t already you should check out Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s qawwali. He was Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s uncle and the undisputed real maestro of Sufi music.
"They have a window to express their vocals" Sir you are a little wrong in thinking like that cuz when you dive in the rules of classical singing, these singers are always hanging and jumping on the several rules within split seconds. The rules are more rigorous than western singing.
Yes I agree with your assumption that the singer do try to test their limits. In this context, you have two singers from ancient and unique families related to qawalli, so a sense of competition and pride is there but more constructive and friendly.
These spiritual songs are called "kalaam" or "raag" in Urdu or in Sufism (mysticism), and seeing you appreciate every bit of this song is so pleasing and overwhelming for me, because not everyone who understands Urdu will be able to appreciate such masterpieces, because it takes the love for music and love for Sufism (mysticism) to appreciate and understand these beautiful kalaams, and that tabla note that you noticed at 14:11, every time I listen to this, that note alone mesmerizes me, and I love love love this kalaam, it's beyond beautiful! And I am really looking forward to watch your reactions on more Pakistani songs!
Names you asked about, are of prominent Muslim Sufis and mystics, many of whom were hugely responsible for the spread of Islam over the past millennium in this region (sub-continent) and are revered by Muslims and even many Hindus to this day
A great reaction to a great track. Please do react to the songs of Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad. Khabaram Raseeda. Rung. You're surely going to enjoy them. And we'll enjoy them with you while you react. Keep it up...
Its amazing to see your understanding and interest in this complex classical music, wow I am really impressed. Thank you for great reaction, stay blessed.
I think this is the only pure qawwali track featured in Coke Studio. All other qawwali were fused with western instruments, but this is the purest form of qawwali you would get. In Qawwali, the lead singer acts like a conductor, leading and orchestrating the back up vocals and the table player. The tabla player for a qawwali is the one holding the band together. Coke Studio performance are rehearsed and pre-planned, where as in live Qawwali sessions, the lead singer could play with the tempo, the length of the track. Rahay Fateh Ali Khan comes from the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan qawwal family while Amjad Sabri comes from the Sabri brother qawwal family. If you listen to both of the ustads of these two, their live performances could go up to 40 minutes for a single track, depending on the vibe created. Live performances always have a table solo as well, which just lifts your mood into a spiritual level. Usually qawwali is played with the tabla on one side and a dhol on the other for bass.
regarding tabla....if you look at 9:06 you will see another instrument(probably a dholak) tucked in his lap instead of the usual dayan and bayan of tabla....
All Of The Reactions I Hv Seen On These Classical Magical Pieces ,It Seems That Ur One Of The Few To Really Understand & Connect With The Soul Of This Phenomenal Music👌❤️ Hats Off
The song is in urdu. Which is the language depicts confluence of four civilisations i-e Turkish, Arabs' Persians and sanskrit (indian) and Pakistani culture stands for the same. Thanks Dear.
This type of music is called Qawwali, this is the Soofi music played at the Soofi and saints festivals . This poetry was written by Amir Khusro probably in 17th century. Amir khusro was a deciple of Khawaja Nizamuddin Aulia who is buried in Delhi . Different names mentioned are various Soofi scholars who seated in various parts of Indo PakiStan Sub continent over the centuries.. Qawali is the celebratory music played at the annual fesstivals at their courts . Most of Amir Khusro’s poetry is about his love and devotion towards his beloved spiritual leader. In this kind of spiritual devotion, love for their master or spiritual leader is a channel toward love and devotion to God. Amir khusro was a nobleman, member of Akbar e Azam’s court the famous Moghul ruler of India. Poet and musician. He credited creation of many rags in Indian classic music. if am not mistaken invention of SITAR is also credited to him also.
This is the poetic, musical and metaphorical rendition of jubilance achieved by passing beyond 'self' and reaching to the 'Divine Universe' free from every dimension. The names are of those mystic Masters, who have achieved the 'color' or 'jubilance' in this journey. This is the song of Union.
In some forms of south asia classical music, singers can deviate a little, experiment , test themselves, i,e in qawali and thumri style of music, but in some style you dont have any space and you have to be confined.
ayyyye John you ma brotha from anotha motha 😘😘🥰🥰 Google it love to watch your reactions. the Chaap tilak reaction moved me too. and this one made me to dance with joy. Answers to your Question as I am mr google sooo 😉 Ans # 01 There was one drummer with two drums you showed us in the video, This set of Drums called "Tabla" Mandatory instrument in pure South Asian Classical music. the small drum is used to make several beats from low to high pitch with the help of 4 fingers and thumb of one hand. the second drum you can call it a Base or Bass drum low pitch notes but using finger techniques high notes too. but mostly 1 drum for high pitch 1 for Low pitch rest is experience and practice of many years you witnessed. Ustad* Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is world known pakistani classical singer who is the only student of The Legend Ustad* Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Late) The South Asian classical singing is based on the vocal cords long breathes and years of practice to make an astonishing voice like Rahat. second Singer was Ustad* Amjad Fareed Sabri (Late) son of Ustad* Ghulam Fareed Sabri (Late) this whole signging category is called "Qawwali" a famous version of Sufi spiritual Singing in South Asia. Ans # 02 those names you wanted to know mentioned in subtitles are Famous Muslim Sufi Saints from South Asia Turkey etc. Sufism is a term in islam which means A holy master and his pupils he teaches the some religious practices and more to Obey the commands of Allah (God) as per Muslim believes. so with the help of Qawwali poets and singers and Saints of Sub continent told us the stories of Saints and pupils and praising etc. I hope Mr.Google tried his best to give you sufficient knowledge to get the answers Google it 😁 Well I have a Request from the first season of Coke studio Pakistan it's called "Jogi" Coke Studio pakistan by Fariha Pervez. Note:- Ustad means Master Guru Google it thanks brotha keep doing this we love you. Respect & Peace Google it Regards, Mr.Google a pakistani trying to make a healthy joyful lovely Googlicious community 🇵🇰
Height of Sufism (a sect of Islam, most peaceful) poetry, Khawaja Nizam ud din Aliya who was one of the biggest saint of sub-continent he is buried in India, people from all religion Visit his shrine. If I am not mistaken Amer Khusro (also a Sufi Saint and poet) wrote this poetry to pay homage to his master. Same names are mentioned in Chap Tilak video as it was also poetry of Amer Khusro.
These name are the founder of sufisam in south asia. They are the symbol of love peace humanity and introducing the God. They secrifice themselves on the name of Allah.
Please react to this mind blowing performance "Money Back Guarantee" Bol Hu - Soch the Band ft. Hadiya Hashmi |NESCAFÉ Basement Season 5 | 2019 - with subtitles - Thank you.
If you want to experience the western version of "Rang", then go for Rang by Fareed Ayyaz and Rang by Hadiqa Kiyani, you wd be surprised what did Rohail Hyatt do with this classical Qawali.
sufi's dance around the melody in the love of their desciple (peer-o-murshad) and they totally get indulge in the spiritual divine love and don't realise that they are almost dancing spinning around the melody
I Loved Your reaction❤️ Love from India!!❤️ Can you please react to SONU NIGAM - ABHI MUJH MEIN KAHIN (MTV UNPLUGGED) You're gonna love it❤️ He's a legend from india who has a voice out of this world.
I know you are a fan of the tabla, you must check out Ustad Dildar Hussain, one of the greatest living tabla players, he does a great solo with Fani Fi Allah, who are a Western Qawwal group, piece is called 'Mast, mast'
I wish you knew the significance of all the names they took. These are the names of the Saints who spread the word of God in the sub-continent, generation after generation. They hold the highest place in the world of Spiritualism,..... that's something we worldly people can't even imagine...... Allah O Akbar
Oh the tabla players can be really involved. Once I was at a live performance and the tabla guy went into a trance and played so beautifully, that the qawal (singer) went quite half way through the song and so did the keyboard player and the room went quite. Tabla guy didn't noticed and just kept playing for a good 2 mins before realising. The room gave him a standing ovation. That was an amazing experience
John your voice is good too fits best for National geographic documentaries. :)
Kind words. Thank you
😂😂
I thought radio-worthy
Hahahaha omg
After Watching Your Reaction, i Would say You Have a Pure Soul..
he really does
WOW watching it on the 5th death anniversary of Amjad Sabri and it still blows my mind that what a legend we lost.
In India we too love him , what a bad luck of music industry... Don't know what happen but whatever done to him is very sad
Rang also means Color
As in many cultures, color is associated with Joy or Jubilance
Therefore the "Rang" translate to an event of Hapiness as can be understood from the context of the song (This Style of singing is known as Qawali, Roughly translated for your Understanding, Singing associated with Sufism)
These are generational artists... Some of their families have been studying music for hundreds of years. This was written 700+ years ago by Amir Khusro for his spiritual master Nizamuddin Auliya. This form of singing is called Qawwali.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's uncle) is the greatest legend of Qawwali music.
React to ............... Crest by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to see his wide range of vocals with a western touch.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has another famous nephew Muazzam Ali Khan.
React to................Sawaal Kande Utte | Ali Azmat, Muazzam Ali Khan. You will definitely like it.
I just came across your channel and seeing you reacting, respecting and appreciating our music from Pakistan made me very happy. We are truly blessed to have masters here.

Amjad Sabri died a couple of months ago after this was recorded. He was shot and he couldn't watch this performance as it wasn't released by then. An amazing reaction as always tho ❤️ You should also react to Garaj Baras by Coke Studio Season 1. It's got that classical and rock fusion mix that coke studio was known for back then
A couple of months after* recording this. Pure gem of a person
Why was he shot?
@@GrossGurlll_24 political conflict i think he was asking bhata (money) by a political party. They have killed numerous people for this bhata.
I think i have so asked so much for garaj baras n charkha that he should react now
Saad to hear that he died, i just seen one video of him with rahat fateh ali khan
We are welcoming you to Coke Studio Pakistan 🇵🇰
Love from 🇵🇰
As a fellow amateur musician I must congratulate for putting out an amazing detailed reaction. Few corrections/comments though, at 6:25 "you mentioned "another increase in the tempo", this is actually the impression we tend to get, however, technically speaking there isn't any tempo change as the time signature stayed the same.

That version is just 💖💖💖💖💖💖
In your video, 10:16 is the signature masterpiece of Late Amjad Sabri Saab ❣️
"Sawal kanday uttay" from coke studio will blow you away but i doubt you will ever get to enjoy it because you might not get enough comments or requests to check it out. A fusion of rock and classic, a masterpiece yet so underrated. Hope you make it to that track somehow.
Sawal kanday uttay,
garaj baras
Charkha naukha
are 3 gems of coke studio. He has already reacted on 4th gem 'sari rat' so I only ask these 3 songs.
sawal Kandey uttey is most favorite song of mine yet it is most underrated song of coke studio dont know why there are not much reactions on Sawal
This is amazing to see that some body from west is capable to understand a very different eastern music.music is for everybody.music shows that all humans are same.lots of love from canada pakistan
Lots of love from Pakistan,,, let me suggest one more amazing one from coke studio by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, song is "afreen afreen"
your musical observation is very good. in eastern classical musicians are given a lot of free hand during the performances thats why you get a raw feel to it. and that tabla is being played with dholki. Dholki is different instrument altogether. You should watch its video on youtube to find how it sounds when played alone.
My recommendation would be to react to "Bol Hu".
Wait till you react to USTAD NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN. The mentor and uncle of RAHAT FATEH ALI KHAN. You will be mind blown by his performance. He is dubbed as the emperor of Qawwali(this form of music)
ruclips.net/video/_dCa_3lFV94/видео.html
Here he's doing a sargam(using syllables like Do Re Mi to instruct tabla player and harmonium player what to play). He's creating music right there in the moment. It's my favourite thing about Indian music, the improvisation.
This poem/song was written by Ameer Khusro(1253-1325AD) as a student for his spiritual teacher Nizam uddin, more than 700 years ago. Nizam uddin was considered a "true friend of God" like a saint and his shrine is in India. Ameer khusro's writings are timeless and pure. Khurso was sufi singer, musician, poet and a scholar during the Dehli kingdom.
Great info. Thank you!
at that time there was no india that was subcontinent
Would you please consider to react on these 2 x NCB songs

Wow wow wow my top favourite singers and on top of that your reaction so beautiful. You are undoubtedly a gem of a person. 💙
Your spot on with the improv. Alot of this style is like jazz in that sense. Those names close to the end are famous Sufi Saints.
RIP Amjad sabri , may ALLAH BLESS SHOWERS OF Blessings in this holly month of RAMDAN
nice reaction man
Those names all about divine poetry and true message of humainty
U can understand our music..its really good to see.
Rang is Translated as color, the implication here is that of being colorful and cheerful and celebratory. The celebration and the joy is that of love. This genre is called qawwali. Its sung in memory of the practitioners of love and kindness. The names in this qawwali are the disciples of the Sufi saint Khawaja Moin uddin chisti ajmeri may blessings be on him.

He was a disciple of Khawaja nizam uddin. One of the chishti saints.
This is one of my most favorite coke studio tracks. And such a great reaction. Thank you so much for such admiration towards our music. If you really wanna enjoy this particular song, listen to it while driving a car, it really turns into something else.
And I think you should really react to Channa or Tajdar e Haram by Atif Aslam, two of Coke studio Pakistan's best tracks ever. I feel food and music are two things that have the power to truly bring people together, and seeing us all come together through music is such an endearing feeling. Lots of love from Pakistan Man.
and this sufi qawali is about the holy shrines situated in india for muslims but even many hindus visit the holy place that is in ajmer sharif rajasthan (india) khwaja ji's holy shrine and the other is in delhi(india) nizamuddin auliya's shrine an for visiting the holy shrine of nizamuddin auliya sarkar u first need to visit hazrat ameer khusro's holy shrine as this has a valid reason behind this story and sultan-ul-hind meaning king of india the head of all (wali's) send by allah in india to spread islam their head is 'khwaja gareeb nawaz' from were not even a single indivisual leaves empty handed these holy places of muslim's are known as dargas and khwaja ji is muhammed sarkar's blood from his family and son of 'hazrat ali'(son in law of muhammed sarkaar) from the 12 generation's

Thank you for such an informative response. Cheers
Please do reaction video on “zakir Husain “ Horse running on tabla. He is really the maestro of tabla in India. And this video named “zakir Husain horse running “ on RUclips shows how good he is with tabla playing. Thanks
There is alot of room for improvisation in the Indian classical music. The chorus doesn't have a sheet to follow, they follow the lead singers and sometimes their improvisations can take the chorus by surprise too.

So Beautiful Qawali 😍 Two Legends of Pakistan
Wow what a sufi Kalaam, great reaction.
If you haven’t already you should check out Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s qawwali. He was Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s uncle and the undisputed real maestro of Sufi music.

@@Imrankhan-pw4ow definitely
Rang pronounced Rung like a stair rung.You might want to check out Rahat Fateh performance at the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony....
I believe 300 or more more such raag were sung in mughal emperor's palaces , actually centuries old style of raag ,like darbari rasgs
These spiritual songs are called "kalaam" or "raag" in Urdu or in Sufism (mysticism), and seeing you appreciate every bit of this song is so pleasing and overwhelming for me, because not everyone who understands Urdu will be able to appreciate such masterpieces, because it takes the love for music and love for Sufism (mysticism) to appreciate and understand these beautiful kalaams, and that tabla note that you noticed at 14:11, every time I listen to this, that note alone mesmerizes me, and I love love love this kalaam, it's beyond beautiful! And I am really looking forward to watch your reactions on more Pakistani songs!
Yeah I waited for this reaction
Thanks so much for this Reaction.
Yea it’s soul catching voices
Names you asked about, are of prominent Muslim Sufis and mystics, many of whom were hugely responsible for the spread of Islam over the past millennium in this region (sub-continent) and are revered by Muslims and even many Hindus to this day
These are Sufi saints they are talking about. Qawali is Sufi music. Just Google it.
A great reaction to a great track. Please do react to the songs of Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad.
Khabaram Raseeda.

Its amazing to see your understanding and interest in this complex classical music, wow I am really impressed.
Thank you for great reaction, stay blessed.
Please react to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who changed the history and future of classic qawwali ancestor of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan you will be amazed
I think this is the only pure qawwali track featured in Coke Studio. All other qawwali were fused with western instruments, but this is the purest form of qawwali you would get. In Qawwali, the lead singer acts like a conductor, leading and orchestrating the back up vocals and the table player. The tabla player for a qawwali is the one holding the band together. Coke Studio performance are rehearsed and pre-planned, where as in live Qawwali sessions, the lead singer could play with the tempo, the length of the track. Rahay Fateh Ali Khan comes from the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan qawwal family while Amjad Sabri comes from the Sabri brother qawwal family. If you listen to both of the ustads of these two, their live performances could go up to 40 minutes for a single track, depending on the vibe created. Live performances always have a table solo as well, which just lifts your mood into a spiritual level.
Usually qawwali is played with the tabla on one side and a dhol on the other for bass.
regarding tabla....if you look at 9:06 you will see another instrument(probably a dholak) tucked in his lap instead of the usual dayan and bayan of tabla....
Kangna Fareed Ayaz Abu Mohammed Coke Studio should be next.
i recommend you all to listen this song with eyes close.. you cant handle the sufism and aura of this song
The names are those of the subcontinent saints who spread Islam in that region, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

Rang is the colour brother.
Written by an indian and composed by an pakistani.
The song is in urdu. Which is the language depicts confluence of four civilisations i-e Turkish, Arabs' Persians and sanskrit (indian) and Pakistani culture stands for the same. Thanks Dear.
This style of music is called "Qawwali" which is kind of Sufi music. The lyrics are from centuries old mystic spiritual poet
You have an pure heart
These names are of religious saints of the sub-continent. It is Sufi music called Qawali.
Why the dislike people? What did they not like? Absurd!
This type of music is called Qawwali, this is the Soofi music played at the Soofi and saints festivals . This poetry was written by Amir Khusro probably in 17th century. Amir khusro was a deciple of Khawaja Nizamuddin Aulia who is buried in Delhi . Different names mentioned are various Soofi scholars who seated in various parts of Indo PakiStan Sub continent over the centuries.. Qawali is the celebratory music played at the annual fesstivals at their courts .
Most of Amir Khusro’s poetry is about his love and devotion towards his beloved spiritual leader. In this kind of spiritual devotion, love for their master or spiritual leader is a channel toward love and devotion to God. Amir khusro was a nobleman, member of Akbar e Azam’s court the famous Moghul ruler of India. Poet and musician. He credited creation of many rags in Indian classic music. if am not mistaken invention of SITAR is also credited to him also.
Those names are of great islamic, sufi scholers
John ur voice is so deep smooth n pure. R u a vocalist? Thanks fr ur honest reaction. Stay blessed dear
Not a vocalist (singer) but I’ve been a small town broadcaster for the past 20 years
@@johncameron I’m not surprised whatsoever. Those producers have good taste :)
Didnt know westerners are taking interest in eastern sufi kinda musik.
This is the poetic, musical and metaphorical rendition of jubilance achieved by passing beyond 'self' and reaching to the 'Divine Universe' free from every dimension.
The names are of those mystic Masters, who have achieved the 'color' or 'jubilance' in this journey. This is the song of Union.
can u imagine that it was a practice session and later on producer decided to upload this practice session as an episode😂🔥.
In some forms of south asia classical music, singers can deviate a little, experiment , test themselves, i,e in qawali and thumri style of music, but in some style you dont have any space and you have to be confined.

those names you wanted to know mentioned in subtitles are Famous Muslim Sufi Saints from South Asia Turkey etc.
Sufism is a term in islam which means A holy master and his pupils he teaches the some religious practices and more to Obey the commands of Allah (God) as per Muslim believes.
so with the help of Qawwali poets and singers and Saints of Sub continent told us the stories of Saints and pupils and praising etc.

Great insight. There is actually a fair scope of improvisation in South Asian classical music.
Height of Sufism (a sect of Islam, most peaceful) poetry, Khawaja Nizam ud din Aliya who was one of the biggest saint of sub-continent he is buried in India, people from all religion Visit his shrine. If I am not mistaken Amer Khusro (also a Sufi Saint and poet) wrote this poetry to pay homage to his master. Same names are mentioned in Chap Tilak video as it was also poetry of Amer Khusro.
These name are the founder of sufisam in south asia. They are the symbol of love peace humanity and introducing the God. They secrifice themselves on the name of Allah.
Please react to this mind blowing performance "Money Back Guarantee" Bol Hu - Soch the Band ft. Hadiya Hashmi |NESCAFÉ Basement Season 5 | 2019 - with subtitles - Thank you.
If you want to experience the western version of "Rang", then go for Rang by Fareed Ayyaz and Rang by Hadiqa Kiyani, you wd be surprised what did Rohail Hyatt do with this classical Qawali.
sufi's dance around the melody in the love of their desciple (peer-o-murshad) and they totally get indulge in the spiritual divine love and don't realise that they are almost dancing spinning around the melody

I know you are a fan of the tabla, you must check out Ustad Dildar Hussain, one of the greatest living tabla players, he does a great solo with Fani Fi Allah, who are a Western Qawwal group, piece is called 'Mast, mast'
I wish you knew the significance of all the names they took. These are the names of the Saints who spread the word of God in the sub-continent, generation after generation. They hold the highest place in the world of Spiritualism,..... that's something we worldly people can't even imagine...... Allah O Akbar
The names that are mentioned in this song are The "sufi's" of the subcontinent ..
