New Yorkers thrilled by Pakistani artists:Sufi Music festival

[mehru]

My favourite songs of Abida parveen.

 

[Peregrine]

I heard only these three sufi songs before by Abida Parveen

Nigah-e-Darwaishaan
Tu Ne Deewana Banaya
Yar ko ham ne ja-bja dekha -(Raqs-e-Bismil)

Hi,
Yar ko ham ne ja-bja dekha is one of her best songs, i am not sure if you have ever heard this one but its also very good, so do check it out

 

[Peregrine]

Heer by Waris Shah (18th centuary poet)

Sufism is our strength and one of the most important element of our culture and religion, we should use this to project the right image of our nation, it reflects true picture of our culture & religion. And i don't think there would be a person on this planet who will not adore it.

 

[Materialistic]

here another one, but its more like a naat.

[Awesome]

here you go Sufi Music Festival 2010, New York
YouTube - Sufi Music Festival 2010 New York

Great to see Pakistani artists return to New York in the open like this. Before 9/11 Pakistanis would regularly hold massive concerts in Central Park, this one was small by comparison.

Ever since 9/11 they were forced to work in small clubs or university organized concerts in private.

 

[Awesome]

Case in point:

Sufi Rock, another Pakistani creation.
