I can’t compliment you any further than what people have said. Just absolutely incredible how you blended metal and one of the greatest legends of all time. Seriously consider making an album and distributing it via exclusive download. There are 2 billion people in South Asia. Everyone who listens to music knows this guy and no one has been able to do what you did in how you fused this together. There’s currently a big wave of people fusing classics like these into pop (check out coke studio) but nothing like this out there for what you have accomplished here. Thanks for this music it made me feel a lot of emotions hearing this from childhood favorite combined with things I listed to growing into adulthood. Cheers

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

[@irfankhan-in9lg]

@@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.

Now, through Andre's work. I came to realise while looking back to modern choir singers, these Pakistani singers are actually a FULL BAND of their own. I have yet to wait and see if I'll be hearing a choir that has a MODERN FULL BAND concept (NOT MODERN INSTRUMENTS but ONLY VOICES that do riffs). I'm not a Pakistani but... these singers are REAL LEGENDS.

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

[@someguy2744]

​@@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.

[@sophiaseeker9335]

@@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.

[@squ34ky]

@@sophiaseeker9335 hahaha!

[@alifaraz2193]

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.

[@owaissiddqui6016]

Hello André Antunes i'm from Pakistan, and i think you just unlocked a new genre of this cultural mix, even though in pakistan we had/have many metal bands but none of them came close to this level of remixes, really appreciate you work man, also there is NFAK qawwali Gorakh Dhanda Ho which was done again in Nescafe Basement and in Last they did the similar type of rendition you did. also rolling stone recently gave a list of 200 Greatest Signers ever of all time in which they put NFAK at 91 but for me he's the greatest ever who doesn't even need a list. i hope continue to do these renditions.
