This is the most extraordinary recording I own. Whenever I play just the audio for people, the common reaction to the round of applause at the end is one that accompanies awe. “THAT was LIVE?!”

Check This Out. It's 13 minuti short and te may not understand a word... Offer yourself the time. Give yourself permission to be moved da something new. This is your journey after all, and it was te who stumbled upon this music. The universe obviously wants te to hear this.

Qawwali Flamenco is a meeting between the Pakistani Sufi tradition of Qawwali and Spanish Flamenco. Though the genres may appear quite different, they are actually very similar in that the Musica invites improvisational story telling, crying and wailing about Amore Lost and found, from subjects spanning from romance to god devotion.

The double album was recorded live at the Fes Festival of Sacred Music, Morocco, in June 2005. Faiz Ali Faiz leads his Qawwali Ensemble, while Miguel Poveda and Juan 'Duquende' Cortes are joined da guitarist Chicuelo to form the Spanish contingent.

It’s the ultimate mash-up and I can only hope più of this kind of cross-pollinating is made possible as the world gets smaller and smaller and we all get closer and closer. Hi, nice to meet you. Wanna touch genres?

juicyjossy9 Pakistani singer Faiz Ali Faiz pays homage to the late great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with his new CD, Your Love Makes Me Dance. The five pieces on the album were either composed or performed by Nusrat. The genre is called qawwali, a kind of Islamic religious music. As you may have noticed, the title of this sacred masterpiece is “Allah Hu”. It means “God Is”. It means that God, or whatever the name you want to give it, is in the music that he puts in the love to play through us. It is not a matter of genres, or nationalities, voices or rhythms, let alone religions . . . because all of them melt together naturally. It is not about understanding the words that are sung, but only a matter of understanding the meaning of it all . . . When I hear this, I definitely find myself smaller and closer than ever to the music playing in my head, in my heart and on my skin . . . I would almost have wanted to hear the waving sound of a harp in between the cries and the guitar harmonies . . . Jason, it is always so nice to meet you. Thank you, music mate.
