Abida Parveen - Lal meri Pat Rakhiyo - Dahamal by sian Zahoor
===========================
About Singer.

Pakistani singer Abida Parveen , is one of the foremost exponents of Sufi music. Her forte is the kafi and the ghazal, though she has also ventured into traditional male territory and sung qawwalis. She is known for her particularly stunning voice, as well as her vivid musical imagination.
She has attained legendary status in the Indian Sub-Continent, especially within her home province of Sindh, Pakistan.

Abida was born in Larkana (Sindh province, Pakistan) in 1954. She received her musical training initially from her father, Ghulam Haider, and subsequently from Ustad Salamat Ali Khan. She embarked upon her professional career from Radio Pakistan, Hyderabad, in 1973.

Her first hit was the Sindhi song Tuhinje zulfan jay band kamand widha. This song had been sung by many other Sindhi singers before her, but Abida brought her own unique style to it, rooted in classical music.

Although she is associated most closely with the verses of the Sufi saint Shah Abdul Latif, she has also sung the verses of other Sufi saints, including Amir Khusrau, Bulleh Shah, Sachal Sarmast, Sultan Bahu, and others such as Kabir and Waris Shah. In recent years, it has become fashionable to call Abida the true inheritor of the mantle of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a giant of Sufi music who died in 1997. While such judgements are necessarily subjective, there is certainly much that Abida has in common with Nusrat. Like him, she possesses a truly magnificent voice, is unassuming despite her superstar status, and her music is informed by a deep commitment to the ideals of Sufism.

For both, the act of singing is a passionate offering to God, and for both the deepest part of their magic lies in the fact that they are able to bring the listeners heart to resonate with the music, so deeply that we ourselves become full partners in that offering. devotional homage to the teacher and an understanding of the ideals of transcendence as well as immanence in artistic expression.

This training, under a good Ustad can take the shape of heightened awareness of the healing and spiritual properties of music, much like Nada Siddha, the inner sounds discovered through deep meditation and yoga under a competent Guru. Abida has repeatedly said that her singing has many healing effects on the listener, and in this sense Abida may be compared to the great North Indian musician, Tansen, whose music was said to have created spontaneous and miraculous effects on his listeners.
Abida is perhaps equally renowned as an accomplished Ghazal singer in Urdu and Sindhi, and an exponent of Punjabi, Urdu and Sindhi Sufiana Kalam, which literally translates as the 'Sayings of the Sufis', comprising the poems and aphorisms of the great Sufis of the Indian sub-Continent. Sufiana Kalam is also closely aligned to Sikh Punjabi devotional singing, otherwise known as the "Shabad Kirtan tradition". It is always interesting to witness, in times of heightened communal tensions in the Indian Sub-Continent, Abida's husky but equally delicate voice proclaiming a deeper bond of Universal Love that soars above the boundaries that divide religious and secular denominations. In this sense, her message can be compared to the likes of Kabir and Nanak, both of whom united Hindu and Muslim.
The mystical aspect of Abida's musical message contains broad humanitarian appeal. Abida Parveen has been gifted with perhaps one of the very greatest female voices of recent times for the proclamation of arguably one of the most important messages of our time. Abida has received many prestigious music awards for her singing, and is often invited to music festivals in India and abroad. Widely and professionally regarded as the "Singers' Singer" or the Artists' Artist, it is not surprising that her admirers include some of the very best singers of the sub-continent.
Abida regularly tours the USA, Europe and the UK.

Awards,

President of Pakistans Award for Pride of Performance (1982) and the Sitara-e-Imtiaz (2005).

  • some mad rulers may have banned music. But in India which is the mother country of all Pakistanis, music is part of our culture. Stop pretending to be an Arab Paksitani. If Music is Haram then how do you celebrate. I guess cut off somebody's throat or sodomize some boys, rape a few helpless women.

    Music has notthing to do with Islam. It is cultural. Just because Saui /Wahabi Arabia is backward bedouin country & has no culture does not mean we should not enjoy. The only enjoyment is screwing!

  • There was no music in the Arabia of Prophet MOhammad's time. Arabs were bedouing/Camel riders. Even the holy prophet was illiterate. (he could not read).

    There was no music. Maybe a drum. We do not know. God does not mention music in the Quran. Hadees about prophet sayings is made up Islam & cannot be relied on. All Hadees was written over a hundred years after the prophet's death. so music is not banned in Islam. Music brings us joy and happiness & is enjoyed by all civilizations. Wahabi crap

    ...and such a person is inadvertently moving towards the category of those cursed groups who showed discourtesy towards the King of Two Worlds (saw) and are damned.

    Words like 'illiterate' do not befit the grandness of Prophet (SAW).

    Can you imagine or name a person in the worlds who was more literate and informed than our Prophet Muhammed (saw)

    I am deeply offended by your words:

    Quote- "Even the holy prophet was illiterate" unquote.

  • @shaukatmalik

    You should watch your words while you talk in the context of Prophet Muhammed (saw). Such casual disposition of words in supporting your argument (whatever it is) with no regard to the glorious status, the magnificence and the grandness of Prophet (saw) is an evident sign of love of Prophet (saw) in you, or rather the lack of it.

  • @shaukatmalik and if saying ali dam dam de ander is haram then i dont know what is halal

  • @shaukatmalik i agree with you brother everything is haram for so called muslims these days, how can something be haram when it has ale nabi(pbuh) aulade alis (ra) name in it.

  • YAAR TO EVERY1 ITNA ACHCHA HUNAR HUM WASTE KARTE HAIN HAMAARE DIFFRENCES MEIN THINK B4 SPEAK WORLD IS NOT AROUND U IT'S ALL ABOUT 1ST RELIGION , MONEY , WOMEN , AND OF COURSE METRIALIESTIC STUFF APPRECIATE WHAT HE LISTEN TALK AND WALK PPL SUM TIME LACK OF THT MEANS NOT HANDICAPED BCOS U HAVE COMPUTER AND KEYBORD AND INTERNET ACCESS TO IT CAN SAY ANYTHING MUH MEIN AAYA BAK DIYA GAND MEIN AAYA HAG DIYA HAVE FUN GOD BLESS U LUV AJAY

  • @shaukatmalik I think, u have mixed up some different issues. Firstly, Music is also a part of Pakistan's culture. They have some wonderfull musicians of all time, Nusrat ji, Rahat ji, Abida parveen, Mehdi Hasan, Ghulam Ali sahab. Pakistan's political situation has nothing to do with music. Terrorism missusing Islam is not problem only in pakistan rather in India, Bangladesh and many other countries. Secondly, Islam or Arab is also not against music. Arabs also have a vast background of music.

  • yar audio bahut km hay

  • outrageous powerhouse pakistani anthem of a number. i could write a whole book about the evolution of this song.

  • @shaukatmalik First of all music is not haram in Islam . secondly music has always been part of Pakistan culture, thirdly we are not pretending to be an arab pakistani ? this is not Arabic rather punjabi language and in the end your ridiculous comments about raping women and boys just says everything what your parents have taught you. rape has rather been a big part of Bollywood culture just watch through few of your movies.
