Arab, Persian, Sufi music

Dropping this here partly so the link is saved. It's really wonderful. I first came across a version of the main song 'Dam Ishq Fareedi Bharia' on a Badar Miandad CD and then found this on YouTube.

What can you tell me about the scene? It's cool to watch, really goes off by the end (and the final melody kind of reminds me of 'On A Ragga Tip').

thanks for sharing...that was great. what exactly is doing on with those dudes making it rain on the band though?

I have no clue about this scene but there are some real fun videos on YouTube if you poke around. I've probably watched this a dozen times

I think they are throwing 'money' to show appreciation for the band being on point. In a probably heinous act of cultural appropriation I have GIFd a bit of that for future application.

that Nazir Ijaz clip is great. going to disappear into a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan hole for a few days.

I have seen Nigerians shower King Sunny Ade with money that way too

If you're in the US you should strongly consider buying the copy of this CD for $2. The opening track is an awesome 19 minutes of insistent rhythm and cyclical, rising vocal fervour.

is it the same as this?

Yeah I think so. 670k views in two years, not bad.

Pretty sure it's the same recording but the YouTube upload sounds like a very lossy file.

Is there a name for the "Autobahn" rhythm with two hits on the low drum? First starts around 5 minutes in but more apparent later on like around 14m.

I always forget how to find that first one so I've saved it now. Has probably been posted on a Buttholw Surfers thread. It's not Sufi or Arabic though, is it?

it’s Thai, by the looks of the script

from the YouTube description:

"klua duang" sung by phloen phromdaen
words & music: kong katkamngae (sanan moenchomphu)
ทำนอง/เนื้อร้อง: ก้อง กาจกำแหง (ชื่อจริง: สนั่น เมินชมภู)

the original thai tune used by the butthole surfers for their song "kuntz" off the 1987 album "locust abortion technician"

Busy listening to Pakistani vocalist Ali Sethi who did an album Intiha where he improvised ghazals over the electronic sounds of Nicolas Jaar. His more pop effort, a collaborative single with fellow Pakistani singer Shae Gill “Pasoori,” a Punjabi word that translates roughly to “difficult mess, went viral on Youtube in 2022 with hundreds of millions of viewers

This one's a beauty. A collaboration between electronic producers Waclaw Zimpel and Shackleton and Hindustaani vocalist Siddhartha Belmannu.

While Jaar's programming underneath Sethi sometimes gets a bit noisy, it's mostly more subtle than Zimpel and Shackleton. Here's a video of the most tuneful Sethi cut with Jaar.
