▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "When the unforgettable qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ali Khan died in Pakistan in 1997, he left a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musical vacuum into which stepped his two teenage ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nephews. Despite their extreme youth, they were ▓▌
▓████▓▌ determined that their group Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali ▓▌
▓████▓▌ should continue their uncle's pioneering efforts to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ transcend cultural, language and religious barriers ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and to bring to the world the devotional but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vibrant Qawwali vocal music of the Sufi mystics of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Islam religion. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Now in their mid-20s, the group's third album, Day ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Of Colours, finds them coming into their own with a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ new-found maturity in their voices and a profundity ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in their approach that not only maintains and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ furthers a family tradition but develops their own ▓▌
▓████▓▌ identity as singers and breathes fresh life into a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ centuries-old style that has today become one of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the glories of modern world music. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The music is steeped in Sufi tradition. But none of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the lyrics on Day Of Colours has ever been recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ before. Some of them are modern. But some of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ poetry is 800 years old. All are love songs in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ praise of the Beloved and were specifically chosen ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for their message of harmony and understanding. As ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rashid Din, the group's manager and producer says, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "There's a very anti-Islamic feeling in some ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quarters at the moment and we felt we needed to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ make an album that showed a centuries-old tradition ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of Islam that never had a message of killing or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hatred or any form of negativity. We wanted a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record that delivered a traditional qawwali message ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of harmonisation and peace." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The two brothers who lead and lend their name to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the group, Rizwan Mujahid ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ali Khan and Muazzam Mujahid Ali Khan, come from a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ direct line of qawwali singers that can trace its ▓▌
▓████▓▌ family pedigree back over five centuries. Their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ grandfather was an uncle of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and taught Nusrat the art of qawwali vocal music. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ They themselves studied under their father, who ▓▌
▓████▓▌ died in 1996, and were then tutored by Nusrat. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The word qawwali simply means 'utterance' and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music and style of performance it describes has ▓▌
▓████▓▌ been a feature of Islamic culture since the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 12th century. It is religious music that uses the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ human voice as a vehicle to enlightenment by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ evoking the name of the Beloved in a quest for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ transcendence. The two lead singers, Rizwan and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Muazzam, lead five back-up singers and in their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ call-and-response patterns, key phrases are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ repeatedly chanted to the accompaniment of rhythmic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ handclapping, percussion and harmonium. The lead ▓▌
▓████▓▌ singer adds elaborate vocal lines and the tempo and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ volume are gradually increased as the piece ▓▌
▓████▓▌ progresses to a heightened trance-like state. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ For centuries qawwali was song solely in a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ religious context at the shrines of the great Sufi ▓▌
▓████▓▌ saints. The broadening of its appeal is very much a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ family innovation - it was Nusrat's father and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ uncle who first introduced qawwali singing at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ social events. To the performers, 'the Beloved' ▓▌
▓████▓▌ addressed in the songs is invariably Allah or a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sufi saint. But romantic love is used as a metaphor ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for spiritual adoration. "They are all love songs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in praise of the deity, but the Beloved is really ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whoever you follow," Rashid Din explains. "The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beloved can be anyone, which is why qawwali music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ has found such a resonance around the world beyond ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Islamic communities. It transcends language and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ speaks to the human soul." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The broadening of qawwali's appeal was central to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nusrat's mission and it is an approach shared by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rizwan-Muazzam. Their debut album Sacrifice To ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Love, released on Real World in 1999, was an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ entirely traditional album. So was its 2001 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ follow-up, A Better Destiny. But they have also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ released a remix fusion album with Temple Of Sound. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "We'll collaborate with anyone if it is done well ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and expands the appeal and understanding of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ qawwali," Muazzam says. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Day of Colours finds them returning to the purity ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the qawwali tradition with stunning results. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Recorded in four days in a tiny studio in Lahore, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the passion is palpable. Performed in Persian, Urdu ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Punjabi, the songs are both ancient and modern. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Light Of My Life /Sayyedo-Sarwer Muhammed was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ written by the 13th century Persian poet and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mystic, Rumi. One and Only ▓▌
▓████▓▌ One/Ik-Machaeya-Shore was composed by the Sufi ▓▌
▓████▓▌ saint Baba Bulleh Shah and is also centuries old. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ So, too, is Lost In Love/Ub-Ho-Gea-Hay, written by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Khawaja Muhammad Devaan, the Sufi saint followed by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nusrat and his entire family, including Rizwan and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Muazzam. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ On the other hand, Life and Soul/ Qalandar Lal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Lajpaal and In The Name Of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Love/ Sub Hasratoon-Ka have contemporary lyrics ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that work both as songs of spiritual devotion and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ expressions of secular love. The album concludes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with the ecstatic title track, which boasts another ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ancient but previously unrecorded lyric by the Sufi ▓▌
▓████▓▌ master Hazrat Amir Khusrau, a 13th century poet and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ composer who is credited with inventing the sitar ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and tabla and is also regarded as the father of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Indian raga. It is the most important piece on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album and is traditionally sung at the end of every ▓▌
▓████▓▌ qawwali session and marks the moment when ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performers and audience believe the Beloved is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ present. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Qawwali is a precious thing that has stood the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ test of time," Rizwan says. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "The songs connect to the human spirit and freshen ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the human soul. It's main message is love and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ aim of this record is to spread peace and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ understanding." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "We know that no one can emulate Nusrat," Muazzam ▓▌
▓████▓▌ adds. "We just want to carry on where he left off ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and God willing, we can take the craft forward." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The spirit lives on. ▓▌
