Synopsis

Amazon.com

Sufi mysticism extends into musical passion in the form of Qawwali, the music performed by such artists as the Sabri Brothers and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. This 1978 recording of the Sabri Brothers and ensemble captures the 9-piece group on only its second U.S. tour, recorded by ethnomusicology pioneer David Lewsiton. These performances abridge Qawwali spirit brilliantly, with the harmonium chuffing alongside the ensemble's hand percussion and call-and-response vocals. The songs exude a passion, wailing and careening with exultation. At times conversational, the Sabri Brothers emphasize vocal virtuosity and storytelling prowess. This is a key early Qawwali recording, traditional and yet trailblazing at the same time. --Andrew Bartlett

CD Reviews

Qawwali - Sufi Music From Pakistan

James M. Brown | San Diego, CA USA | 10/26/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After being a devotee of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen (I love her "Devotional Journey"), I was unsure about the Sabri Brothers. However this CD impressed me enough that I just ordered Ya Habib and Greatest Hits by the Sabri Brothers. I appreciate the uncompromising genuineness and heart that they put into this work. I have been disappointed in other artists cutting short tracks that don't get to the hypnotic, trance-like quality of qawwali, or who mix in new-age instrumentals (I don't really even like NFAK's "Night Song" CD with Michael Brook). This is my favorite type of music, so I highly value finding good new artists in the genre. I would not have found the Sabri Brothers unless I had gone online and searched."

Sabri Brothers are maybe the BEST qawwals out there

"I have heard most of their stuff, and they outshine all others, including Nusrat Fateh Ali. They are in total harmony, and have some of the greates voices in Pakistan. Their songs are some of the most spiritual, and best qawallis in Pakistan. And please, don't bash them cause they're Muhajirs and not Sindhi/Punjabi."
