...Of The Andaleeb-e-Rumi (Part 2)

Here's another batch of Mehfil recordings by the Andaleeb-e-Rumi, the late Haji Mehboob Ali Qawwal of Golra Shareef. As more and more of his recordings are painstakingly digitized, edited and transcribed, a veritable treasure is shaping up. And although the true flavour of Haji saheb's art can best be appreciated by listening to entire Mehfils where each Kalam is linked to the others by a common spiritual thread, these individual performances will provide a taste of the diversity of repertoire, the brilliant, almost 'waaiz'aana' andaz, the immaculate talaffuz and the uncannily brilliant 'girahbandi' that were Haji Sahab's hallmarks. As always, he is accompanied by his brother, the late Haji Mushtaq Ali on vocals and harmonium, with Mehboob sahab himself playing the sitar.
