Funny urdu qawwali
Whilst I was not a fan of either of these two musicians (although I had a vague appreciation of Peter Gabriel), it interested me to see western musicians take an interest in something from “my” cultural background. Peter Gabriel, Eddi Vedder (Pearl Jam) and others. I suppose I was switched on to Qawwalis again when some well known western musicians started collaborating with Nusrat. That said, my interest in Qawwalis was rather patchy growing up through my early teens, college and university years in which my main music tastes were U2, Bruce Springsteen, Public Enemy, Smiths and all things Indie and Hip-Hop. Quite often Nusrat and other qawwali performers were live in the studio performing some of their well known material, so all in all I suppose I am pre-disposed to this genre. Additionally, as a family we used to wake up early on a Sunday mornings and tune into “ Nai Zindagi Naya Jeevan” (New Life, New Home) a BBC Urdu magazine style programme for early British Asian immigrants which covered current affairs, lifestyle and music. My first memories of qawwalis are as a four year old in Pakistan on a bus and singing “ damma damm mustt qalandar” but what I was actually singing was “ damma damm bus conductor” thinking the song was about the buses! I know my parents used to listen to qawwalis as I was growing up (and occasional Mohammad Rafi songs too) even though my parents were not into music as such and were and are devoted and religious people, all the old classics such as “ Allah hu“, “ Mustt Qalandar” and the Sabri Brothers and Aziz Mian featured heavily in tape collections. The adab (etiquette) of the majlis (gatherings) is something that is not ideal any more but this does not detract from the content and form of this devotional musical genre. People will complain about the environment of modern qawwali performances and the ills of it, which is fair enough. So I feel indebted to Nusrat and other qawwali singers for helping me in accessing at least part of the Sufi poetry tradition of the Indian sub-continent, this rich art form that has coloured and inspired the Muslim tradition of the Indian sub-continent. That being said, I love languages and linguistics and love to learn origins of words and phrases and so I have an interest in Sufi inspired Qawwalis and other spoken/recited Urdu poetry. My Urdu reading is generally poor (as is my writing), so much so that I just don’t bother with reading or writing Urdu (apart from having a go at reading the headlines in the Daily Jang newspaper!). I only really learned to speak Urdu when I got married and have a pretty decent level of conversational Urdu now (although lacking in more advanced vocabulary). Growing up, the language we spoke at home was “ Pahari” rather than Urdu or Punjabi. I am a second generation (British) Pakistani, born and raised in the UK, my first language is English, I think in English, I write in English and most of the time I dream in English. Putting aside all the fiqhi (jurisprudential) discussions about music and the permissibility or otherwise of it (although one finds that Imam al-Ghazali and Shaykh Abdal Ghani al-Nablusi make an exception for devotional music), on a personal note I am indebted to Nusrat for making accessible to me the poetry and kalam of the Sufis which I ordinarily would not have had easy access to.
