Pakistani rock fusion! Andre Antunes rocks with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan | REACTION by an old musician

[@wellingtonfurtado5320]

You need to see the other two songs of Master Nusrat done by Andre..loved the reaction 👏

[@vimla2337]

qawali songs range from personal love songs to spiritual worship. Andre takes the amazing music to another level of divine

[@anonymouslyopinionated656]

often the personal love song is also a metaphor for spiritual worship. love, as an emotion, brings you closer to god.

[@SpyOnDeck]

This is a great mashup. No voice-pitch changes. Thanks for reviewing 🤘

[@omairsh8]

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan doesn’t need pitch changes, he IS pitch changes 😊

[@kpag3030]

Andre is a gifted musical composer. Truly. Granted, the original material gave him a great base to work off of, but his composition on top of it is brilliant. Truly.

[@relvasanalytics7852]

...he doesn't Americanize the song, he just electrifies it.

[@KettleBlacktheBat]

Well, I mean, I don't think he's American. I think he's Italian

[@relvasanalytics7852]

@@KettleBlacktheBat ......Americanizing the song means performing the song in the American style and to do that I don't need to be American, even an Indian could do that. André Antunes is not Italian, he is Portuguese.

[@axelbruv]

@@relvasanalytics7852 You like your ellipses. It was a fair comment because there is an 80's rock influence here. I would go back a decade and claim it was anglicised. But you can keep going back until you reach the acoustic blues. So really he didn't just electrify it, either.

You'd think that these two (relatively) disparate/different genres would not fit so well together, yet they do.

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

Both the original performance and Andre Antunes' remix are spectacular ❤ Loved seeing your reactions and joy. I too love all of it.

[@UnhingedReactions]

Thank you so much!!

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

You're welcome :D

Peter Gabriel has a Song with NFAK called "Signal to Noise". Also collaborated with Eddie Vedder. Jeff Buckley is a fan as well, sang some of NFAK's songs on some of his own live shows.

[@UnhingedReactions]

Wow I didn't know that!

[@imrankjamil]

@@UnhingedReactions Apparently Jeff called NFAK his Elvis. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6SsfGCZgs13Y9U

[@artbeck3507]

These are not “jam sessions”. This is 600+ year art form which is carried forward by distinct families of USDTAAD’s (Meastros status) of mainly sufi poetry that will start slowly, ramp up, down, sideways taking the listener to nirvana and back. I’m not demeaning sessions per-se, because those have produced classics. Lookup Chap Tilak (Pakistani Coke Studio). It involves Rehat Fateh Ali Khan (performer in higher voice pitch, here, and successor to the maestro that was ‘NFAK’). That recording session was a rehearsal, but was so good, they published it as the main act ! Good luck on your journey to Pakistani musical art form that has left many many in awe.

[@UnhingedReactions]

Thanks for the info!

[@averyteplitsky885]

Good stuff, and thanks for reacting to this and taking Doug up on his suggestion, as I have been most-derelict in doing so myself over the last little while!!😆 Yeah, Mr. Antune's awesome additions to what I assume was originally a highly-spiritual track really opened up my ears in a good way. All in all, a masterful job of sweetening and editing all around. More please, kind Sir?!?😇 P.S., Eddie Vedder collaborated with N.F.A.K. on a song entitled "The Face Of Love" for the soundtrack of "Dead Man Walking" back in late 1995, f.w.i.w.!!

[@UnhingedReactions]

I've never heard of N.F.A.K. but now I need to find more by him!

[@zkfnd859]

Someone said it, If only the classical musicians regardless of their country, had some form of Distortion, they would all be "HEAVY- HEAVY metal".

[@UmairAbid01]

Just to add more context here, the original genre is called qawwali in the region of its birthplace. This genre is associated with Sufism, mystic branch of Islam so more than a jam its more like a trance. The lyrics usually come from the great Sufi mystics of the past with a common theme of longing for their love (the mighty) with a passion and that's where the emotion and passion come from. Sufism is quite different from mainstream Islam like all mystic branches of Abrahamic religions where it doesn't concern with worldly affairs and its solely between creator and creation

[@zkfnd859]

Welcome! You've now entered the Rabbit hole of Ustad (maestro) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Andre has done several other songs too. There is also one with Noor sisters, in the version of SOAD.

[@xers395]

Listen to andre's sanson ki mala mix. Its his best mix of nusrat

[@arsalanchauhan]

Nusrat was just on another lever, truly unmatched...Jeff Buckley even sung his songs in Urdu he was his one of the biggest fan and Peter Gabriel called Nusrat along with Otis Redding to hae most soulful voices.

[@Vaninasanta]

I knew the amazing Mr. Nusrat with one of Peter Gabriel´s CDs, from the _Real World_ collection, the song was Must Must and it completely blew my mind off. I always listen to that song when I´m feeling blue or sad, it lifts my spirit up and injects sunshine and joy into my soul in a way nothing nor no one else can. Andre´s version of that song is out of this world too. Best regards from Argentina :)

[@arsalanchauhan]

@vanina s I am glad to hear that, if you want I can introduce to some other Pakistani music. Will highly recommend Coke Studio it has subtitles aswell and if you like Nusrat you may wanna check out his nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Also for similiar feeling from a women you should definetely listen Abida Parveen she is so amazing.

[@bhatki_gaayika]

My favourite among the mashups, is the one where he mashes up the sanson ki mala by nusrat fateh ali khan.. That one is top notch...

[@UnhingedReactions]

Yes! He is genius!

[@bevrek]

That's just fantastic.

[@johnp2540]

I like Andre Antunes take on the sufi singers, The Nooran Sisters. You should check them out.

[@AsmaTauseef-t3v]

The best of rock in history

[@DKsamps]

Cool! Little Zappa in there

[@dr.s.]

Never heard of any of these guys but I definitely have to watch both these videos. I don't know if the song still makes sense since - as you - I don't understand the lyrics. But technically it's really great, at no time the drum, bass and guitar is too much in front of the vocals. You guys are always good for a surprise.

[@UnhingedReactions]

Thanks! I felt the same way watching both performances. Just amazing!

[@UrbanistWaldeinsamkeit]

Andre's version has captions in English

[@Dougwarren69]

Two thumbs and a testicle up! 🤘

[@averyteplitsky885]

Ha ha, you so funny, Sir Uno Testiculo!!🤗

[@UnhingedReactions]

Mr. Uniball strikes again! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

He's not pitch shifting, but he's picking from several performances. And the original doesn't have chords, it's modal music.

[@UnhingedReactions]

Thanks for the info. The end result is a sublime mix of two very different cultures. 🤘

[@imrankhan-vl9xw]

You can react on many other Pakistani songs like Ye Duniya , Rang and many other Pakistani Coke Studio songs. Let experience the rich music culture of Pakistan.
