Totally agreed 👍

Completely agreed! that'd be awesome!

Im from Brazil, and this song introduced me to listening your tipe of songs.

Yes yes yes yes

Approval from Nepal 🇳🇵

I agree with you, this was beautiful in so many different ways.

this sounds epic but what are they singing about?

Irish metal head here and I was blown away by how much it comes across like power metal. Been bopping along the whole time. Some set of pipes on that main singer! I must go find a decent translation of the lyrics so I have a clue what it all means lol

@@sjoerdarends5487 it is the song Dama Dam Mast Qalandar and according to Wikipedia: ( transl. Every Breath for the Ecstasy of Qalandar) is a spiritual Sufi qawwali written in the honour of the most revered Sufi saint of Sindh, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (1177-1274) of Sehwan Sharif.

@@lmc689 Stunning stuff! Thanks for the teachings on what this is, appreciate it.

It just blows mind how most people will probably never know who nusrat and many other great South Asian talents are . Neither will they understand the beautiful lyrics . I feel sad for them . Consider yourself lucky you stumbled upon this gem .

Ustad Nusrat is out of the world! Listen to his original works. No one can beat his vocal range! 🔥✨

Welcome to Qawalli bro. Metalhead from Pakistan. This genre of music...to be honest is rock and metal without the guitars. Listen to other compositions by Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali.....you'd be surprised that he was using polyrhythmic techniques and compositions that are similar to djent and prog metal.

Makes sense because Pakistani music is just Indian music with Islamic or sufi lyrical influence

If you can brother of metal, please check the Mongolian singer that he also made a cover ❤

as a pakistani i feel so appreciated-

Definitely 👍

We sent a golden record into space?? We're pretty dumb.

@@YeshuaIsTheTruth It's not exactly as stupid as it sounds. It's basically a time capsule for Earth, coordinates for finding us I believe, greetings from various languages, nature sounds. Also, found this online about the gold: "Gold was chosen as the coating because it is chemically extremely stable and has good thermal properties."

And they didn't even need to invade..

@@smolsnek14 🤣🤣🤣

Shh don't tell the liberals about this.

No doubt! This really is cultural enrichment. And a lot of times what hard core liberals want to call “cultural appropriation” is really just cultural admiration. Don’t they get it? If you want to dress like a Nigerian or in a kimono it doesn’t mean you’ve got some evil agenda to absorb and eventually wipe out their culture. You admire certain aspects of these foreign cultures and are simply imitating them. Not mocking them! It’s cultural admiration!!!

@@ivanfranco2363 👌🏽

I tried to look up the lyrics and found nothing like that. Could you please tell me the name of the site you found that Said that? I would appreciate it. Please like my comment so i will get notified, @ dont work.

It must have been a different song or a very creative translation. This qawwali says "May the darkness inside me disappear".

It's like super metal lyrics...but with a WHOLESOME TWIST?!?!? WHAAAT!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdF_rKhmspencZc.html Enjoy the english lyrics.

Its actually an ode to Mola Ali and Shahbaz Qalander.

happy that u got cured

@@gadgetsnation6118 Its called Qawwali, it’s a form of Sufi Islamic music/poetry. Originated in the Indian subcontinent. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (RIP) was Pakistani

You might like "Project Mishram" then. Excellent fusion of genres

Wonderful!

Same man, I was listening to this and the other songs on repeat for weeks.

I'm a new addict 🫣

im working like 16 hours per day and im listening this in loop while working, im addicted too

It's a beautiful song.

And this is the best one!

And do you know who is actually the Mast Kalandar? It's Shiva performing His Tandav after consuming the Bhaang. He drinks Bhaang to keep his throat calm after He drank the celestial poison called Hàláhàlà Vìšàm for saving the universe. Hàláhàlà Vìšàm is the Negative Energy. Hìnđú Đhàrmà has its scientific roots.

Thanks for the info. Nasrat is also one of the most well-known singers internationally is he not?

@@Drew-ft7wf He was. Sadly he died in 1997. He was only 48 years old.

😲

👀

Sometimes, I think those evergreen singers should've been in metal bands of their own! That would've redefined Folk Metal as it is today! Add to that, Andre's guitar skills - the eargasms from the amazing voices and the instrumental expertise would alone make a good number of people forget about Metallica, Megadeth and the likes!

Nusrat has his name in Guinness record book as he created the most Albums in history

Sou Brasileiro e estou amando essa mistura de culturas, viva a música sem fronteiras 👏🙌

I love this comment section, this is the best example of cultural appreciation. A whole bunch of people just got a new appreciation for Pakistani music.

hungarian here, this music (original + Andre) is awesome, I also listened to it during workouts, that badass it is, lol.

Agreed. that's why the concept of "cultural appropriation" is bullshit. under its yoke this video should be cancelled.

stfu if you cry for this. Jesus...

The System of a Down/Nooran Sisters one is crazy good.

This is musical fusion at it's best. Respectful of the original but taking it to a new level

Agreed, kinda feels like a new genre is being born

Seems Andre really likes Sufi songs.

Yeah, his remixes of the Nooran Sisters are damn near life changing. The entire package is just SO INSANELY GOOD.

This song is about the season of must when mating season occurs in elephant populations. The male elephants get agitated, rocking back and forth.

​@@sophiaseeker9335 I think it is a muslim religious song, so the breeding rituals of elephants is probably not what is being talked about. Sami Yusuf also made his own interpretation of the song.

@@someguy2744 A Raja who's languages and culture he was emersed in his entire life, he not only gifted me this and other music. He translated them as well. He translated cinema as well, as we watched together. Growing up in this region, he was fluent in at least six local languages. The elephant season of must, is a metaphor. One must think allegorically to grasp the true meaning. I shant try to paint the whole picture for anyone. Suffice it to say,the males rock back and forth side to side, tears streaming from their eyes, longing for their beloved. Intensely. The separation is pain and longing. One must look beyond the mere temporal mundane interpretations. If one does not grok metaphor, a thousand words cannot explain it.

@@sophiaseeker9335 hahaha!

For anyone wondering... The lyrics refer to not the mating of elephants, rather a trance like state of being "musth" which means entranced in love. So Ali is a revered figure in shia and sunni Islam. This song is dedicated to the love of Ali and how one can e entranced by it. "Must qalandar" is a phrase referring to a Sufi practitioner lost in love.

Asim azhar is not rock.

@@zahirjunejo7490 Karakoram , Takatak , Jal , Wisdom Salad , Ehl-E-Rock , Aag etc would like to have a word with you. Best not to disregard the entire scene when all you're going to talk about is one (1) singular artist.

im curious, what is 'Mustt Mustt' song about?

@@planetbintang About a saint of the Sindh region, Laal Shahbaz Qalandar

Peter Gabriel, Eddie Vedder and others. I think he would've enjoyed this. Andre is incredibly respectful and talented. BRAVO.

well said sardar bhai

Are you the real khuswant singh??

That’s how I felt listening to Orphaned Land as a teen growing up a religious Jew. It’s like ‘damn these songs slap when you have a talented band behind them’ I’m surprised there isn’t more cultural meshing in music styles. There’s some folk metal bands out there but not nearly enough.

Lol, that was insightful

Absolutely!

Masterful playing for all the reasons you mentioned ! Pretty much a perfect arrangement

Exactly. Complementary

100% this, there is still SO much space in here and Andre steps out of the way so beautifully when the Indian singers go into their magical virtuoso passages…

No need of the but … we all are the same anyways

​@@SuperNikhil001I think they meant it more in a "despite any prejudices I may have held" rather than trying to force a point of division. But I agree with you in the spirit that we are all ultimately one people. All the best to you and your loved ones from the UK.

Big up! ❤

No worries, mate. We love humanity. Not so much our psychopath politicians.

We're all human and this is what connects us. The most beautiful parts. Love to Pakistan from the United States

100 % agree a true musician

Oh I just wrote the same sort of comment ❤ This is exactly it.

Have you heard Bloodywood? You might like them.

Totally

Then it might be time to listen to some other metal bands instead of nickelback and metallica. Meshuggah, Lamb Of God, Infant Annihilator etc would be a good for starting new journey.

@@o00user00o Those bands are like replacing meat with Tofu

@@o00user00o With all due respect to you and the bands you mentioned, I've listened to all of them, there's no denying of their technical prowess but in terms of musical innovation metal has been repeating itself for many years already, and I find it hard to get excited about new releases. This guy has mixed metal (which is barely 50 years old) With Qawwali music which extends back to the 13th century so that's what I meant by badass in terms of pushing boundaries and experimenting which I find to be more interesting and exciting as a result. A band like Black Sabbath for example is beyond badass when you view them in their historical context, I'm talking about hearing heavy metal for the first time in the late 60s can you imagine how cool was that!

Do Iranians listen to south Asian qawwali? Or in general music of south?

@Shayan hasan yes brother we do. Specially in the south and east of Iran

Hope you are safe during the troubles times in you country! Music should bring us together!

@@Rosskles exactly bro❤️

It's an ode to Ali(AS) and Shahbaz Qalandar. This qawali is about being in a state of "Musth" (trance) and about praising lal shahbaz qalandar, a sufi saint.

First of all I am an Iranian and we have a lot in common with the Indian language and some words are common I have to say that the lyrics are completely misleading..It doesn't work at all, But I can help you a little Qalandar means someone who does not care about the world. And people's opinions don't matter to him... of course The meaning here is Imam Ali dum mast kalander mast mast means I got drunk by Qalandar. Very drunk which is itself a metaphor its means I went out of my normal state because of my love for Ali

Coke studio rahay Fateh and abida Parveen, search on KZfaq and I am sure it will be a treat

This is jalandhar gharana from india but lives in pakistan for 70 years.

Look for the Orchestral Qawwali Project with Abi Sampa

Truth. Nusrat and crew are the real deal.

True. The only instruments used by a qawwal "party" are tabla and harmonium. They may also use a dholak for the "nobat" on this particular qawwali.

Check out Roxen - "Mujhko satao rock version" Roxen - "Yaadein " Roxen - " Rozen e deewar "

exactly what i was thinking xD these dudes rock🤘

Karen metal is the pinnacle of metal.

In one of his early videos , he has a DV Mark MultiAmp to play guitar through

For real, quality sound every time

Tone this good isn't overly expensive. Just about any guitarist should be able to afford it. It's the practice with the equipment to really dial in that master tone.

@@FlawlessRythym expensive is relevant depending on who you ask, but yes, knowing what you’re doing and a lot of trial and error to really dial it in is what makes it sound good.

Musicians in the Indian subcontinent usually sit cross legged on the floor. Your comment offers interesting food for thought.

This is very common among classical singers of South Asia especially Sindhis and Punjabis.

He's like a laughing Buddha. I love it.

and also the timing.. they sing consecutively like for 1 hour too sitting

@@masroorahmed1606 almost all of South Asia, carnatic classic music of south India is also performed sitting down

It will hard to translate this to exactly what it means but it is sort of a religious ritual chant if you can imagine it like. Mast qalandar means a saint of the highest order (qalandar) and he is in sort of mystic trance (mast). The qalandar is praising his masters the one above him in the saintly order.

Hope you’re doing well friend. Music cleanses the soul

Love from PAKISTAN

Oh you should definitely give it a try, some real hidden gems! I recommend songs from Coke studio Pakistan or from Nescafe basement

It’s a form called qawwali

my friend, you are most welcome to discover our music !

It already does exist. KZfaq search “Bloodywood” it’s an Indian metal band. They’re really good.

U can find this type of music on Coke Studio & Nescafe Basement from Pakistan...

That man and his music has gone beyond borders. One of the most unique voices to have graced this Earth. Instantly recognisable style. You can hear a touch of the same voice and style in RFAK as well, a young version of whom I believe I can see in this video.

I don't know the language but I can tell he's singing from his soul, from his heart.......what is the song about?

@@MMK86 This is not a song. Qawwali music is basically about praising God, Prophet Mohammed, Ali (cousin and son in law of prophet Mohammed) and sufi saints. In this Qawwali they are praising Ali and famous Sufi Saint from Sindh, called, Laal Shehbaz Qalandar.

Well said

Nothin' like the feeling of that fire getting sparked \m/

I know right? This even sounds fantastic on my picky 'fancy pants' headphones. The balance between the guitar/bass/drums/vocals is on point!
