Tool & RATM are some of my favorite western bands, but Ustad Nusrat is as heavy as it gets. Qawwali music and metal go together like chocolate and peanut butter. I hope more western musicians incorporate South Asian music, as the stellar band Boy Hits Car does.

Carnatic is mainly used in southern Indian states as well as some influence on srilanka music. Hindustani is more common in northern part of India and Pakistan. Another genre is qawali which was popularized by khwaja chisti in northern Indian(rajasthan),sindh which uses elements of hindustani music and islamic mysticism.

[@danishverma187]

I don't know many people here know this but one of the best things about these shows that Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan used to do was there used to be alot of improvisation while performing on the spot. If you listen you any of his songs recorded in 2 different places you will definitely see that there is a lot of difference and improvisation. That's why he was titled as an "Ustad" which is "Master" in English because this man was a God level musician. You will never see him giving queues to any of the co-performers anyone in his team can come in steal the lime light with a mind blowing note and no matter where they wander with the notes they always find a way back to the song and that was one of the most beautiful things about his performance. Listening to his songs will take you to a journey.

Nice! I love how western music embraced Nusrat (Peter Gabriel, Michael Brook, Gaudi, the Asian Underground, etc.) and now Andre! I saw Nusrat perform in Oakland many years ago. I was one of the few non-Pakistani in the audience. Everyone was dressed up so fancy and doused in wonderful fragrances. There was a constant line of people walking up to the stage - during the concert - to place money on the corner of the stage (it must be a Qawwali thing). It looked like one guy put down a large bill, picked up a whole bunch of bills as change, and then proceeded to return all the change on the stage, one bill at a time, bill after bill after bill. Nusrat sounded great and the experience was transcendental. You have done him justice! I love what you're doing in general with South Asian singers.

Junoon has the best when you consider fusion, although almost every single Pakistani band has at least one good fusion track. Most of them are rock/pop style songs and not metal if that doesn't bother you.

[@Shoegazer333]

Please come out with more Pakistani Folk metal, sosososososso good to hear it this way

[@JonasAlberti]

Agora pra ficar perfeito só falta adicionar no Spotify! 🙏 E por favor, queremos mais Nusrat Fateh!

LYRICS Without you Without you, my heart's desire There's no point in living without you Every nerve and vein sings your name My eyes wait for you to come My heart yearns I cannot bear this loneliness My eyes wait for you to come Spring has come and it has gone But still i wait for you //chetti aaja dholna tenu akhiyan udeek diyan Come back, my love, come back My eyes waiting… If not now, when will you come? My eyes await some sign of you //Panchi murr gharaN nu aa gaye tu vi aaja dholna //tenu akhiyan udeek diyan The birds of spring are here again Why do you not come too? Don't fail me, I beg to you, In this loving season, come back

Brother you don't even realise what Gem you have unearthed..! This Fusion of Indian/Pakistani Classics With Metal and Rock is for the Ages❤❤

[@YeOldEntertainment]

The videos with the Nooran sisters are funny because they feel like an involuntary collaboration. I can imagine the sisters saying "WTF is this?" and laughing while watching the video. (I would pay to see a reaction video of them watching Andre's videos XD). But this video/track is a serious piece of fusion music that Nusrat himself would've probably agreed to make if he were alive, because the dude was a legit world music icon. He participated in Peter Gabriel's Womad initiative at some point even.

[@TheSasquatchNation]

I REALLY hope the sisters have seen Andres videos AND I hope it inspires them to do a collab with Andre. I hope there is a tour and a gatefold 2LP vinyl record produced as well. 🤟🤟. I like your idea of a reaction video as well. That would be GOLD!!

[@mckylecfc]

Michael Brook Night Songs collab was probably best fusion involving NFAK... And I put Antunes here at same level now 🔥

[@YeOldEntertainment]

@@mckylecfc That's cheating a bit, because for this one NFAK doesn't even know he's collaborating with Andre XD. Or maybe he does know from the other life? In any case, yes this the best collab!

[@corybeaver7562]

Another masterpiece! These really are the best of your compositions. For everybody who is into these tracks, go back and listen to the originals. Really gives you an appreciation for what Andre does. Genius stuff here!

[@christianwagner5301]

Thank you for broadening my musical horizons and introducing me to such wonderful musicians as the Nooran Sisters and the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, who as a metalhead I now sometimes listen to "solo". I bought you some coffee - Dear listeners please do the same so that we can continue to listen to such brilliant music and maybe even get an album - Thanks Andre!

Khan sahab is one of the great singer I've ever heard. He's qawwalis are just too addictive. Plus making it into a metalmix is just so good. What a remix.

[@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable]

It's a bit hyopcritical though since music and in particular music with drums is a major sin in islame. Punishment is execution in some places. So...

[@stoppls1709]

@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable no it isn't? wtf lmao you do realize this is from one of the most conservative muslim countries

[@Samual.adis.Najmani]

@@stoppls1709 don't waste your time on this dude His videos and subscribed list shows how much he is lost in his world.

[@mjt1517]

@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable Is Andre a Muslim? If not, Islamic ideas about what is or is not a sin wouldn't apply to him. Not sure how his mashup qualifies as hypocrisy, since he's not preaching one thing and practicing another. Which is what 'hypocrisy' means. Also, where do you get the idea that music and drums are a major sin? And can you tell us which places execute musicians? Is Pakistan one of them? Is Andre subject to the law of those "places"? I feel that you're lacking critical information. At least until you return to update your claims.

[@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable]

@@mjt1517 Wooouw, that is not what I am saying... I didn't say anything about andre actually.... I said the singer was officially a muslim, and as such, I would expect him to follow his faith, which clearly says no musical instruments. And then I later added, based on interviews with the singer, I don't believe he was actually muslim, because he said he liked classical music - which absolutely has any kinds of drums. So, this singer would have loved this video..... The reason why he became so popualr is obviously because he was so good. And many muslims (especially westernized muslims) are hypocrites, they enjoy what is haram, then just call it a grey area. They like what we like, but they're not allowed to express it for their faith. So... show this video in an area with sharia and punishment is indeed execution, or at least imprisonment or lashing. There's no way around it.

[@jaysureja9824]

You all know that feeling when a song is so good it gives you chills? And then that feeling keeps going and brings tears to your eyes? This is something very special. Andre, you are truly one of my musical inspirations, and in my opinion of the best musicians out there, period.

[@RogerioDec]

What I haven't noticed anyone commenting on is the fantastic work that André has done in editing the VIDEO and AUDIO in this and other videos. Just the job of isolating the vocal audio from the original video (removing all the background, such as noise and other instruments), this is already worthy of an award. After that, all the work of composing, recording, mixing, resulting in these spectacular works.

[@RadioCorbeau]

Enjoyment : intense. It almost moved me to tears when i saw you singing along : i love how invested you are :) Thank you for the beautiful creations ! Take care.

[@omairsh8]

Andre has done so many parodies, but you can tell he’s very respectful and invested in Ustad NFAK’s music. Total love and respect

[@locomotionlotion779]

I’ve always been a fan of multicultural metal, some of the Chinese and Mongol metal band are incredible. Even Dio leaned into a lot of Arabian and Persian sounds in some songs. But, this is the first time I’ve heard anything like this! It’s awesome! I can imagine a lot of songs being like this, with local traditional instruments being introduced in the choral breaks. Excellent work!

[@denissetiawan3645]

can you recommend me some chinese & mongol metal?

[@locomotionlotion779]

@@denissetiawan3645 have a go with Nine Treasures (Spotify of course lists the most popular songs first, the top song is amazing.) and see how you get on with that. Their ‘Wisdom Eyes’ album is the one where they use localised instruments the most.
