The Best of Bulleh Shah Vol 1 — Punjabi Sufi Poetry Qawwali MP3
The first volume of the Best of Bulleh Shah compilation represents the beginning of a systematic effort to document the most important Punjabi sufi poet's kalam as performed in the qawwali tradition. Bulleh Shah's poetry is deceptively accessible on the surface — folk language, simple meters, direct address — but contains layers of theological and experiential meaning that unfold with increased familiarity. A best-of compilation is particularly useful for the qawwali treatment of his work because different performers bring fundamentally different interpretations to the same text.
Multiple Bulleh Shah — Multiple Readings
Various qawwals in this collection have a voice that can mesmerize audiences of all ages. They have been singing qawwali in different languages since a young age. Although their qawwali majorly depicts ethnic form, the universality of Bulleh Shah's content gives it access to listeners from any background. iRulz offers free urdu qawwali download across the full Bulleh Shah tradition. Priceless Gems Shandar Qawaliyan CD 1, Faiz Ali Faiz and Meher Ali all represent different angles on the same classical Punjabi sufi heritage.
