Qawwali Flamenco CD 2

Qawwali Flamenco CD 2 — Faiz Ali Faiz Pakistani Sufi Flamenco

The second volume of the Qawwali Flamenco collaboration extends the experiment established on CD 1 with material that pushes deeper into the dialogue between traditions. By the second disc, both sets of musicians have adapted to each other's performance expectations, and the recordings tend to be more integrated. Faiz Ali Faiz is not the only qawwal who has explored cross-traditional collaborations — Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan did it with Peter Gabriel and Michael Brook — but his specific engagement with flamenco is unique in its depth and consistency.

What the Second Disc Adds

He carries a traditional style of qawwali with a unique voice that immerses into the kalam and leaves an unforgettable impact. iRulz has lined up a vast collection of the best qawali from his cross-traditional catalogue for free access. Rare Elements Remix, Faiz Ali Faiz himself and Priceless Gems Shandar Qawaliyan CD 2 represent different approaches to the question of how classical qawwali meets contemporary production and cross-cultural encounter.
