The Dream Journey – Discovering Musicians Across Pakistan
 |
| Subhan Ahmed Nizami |
The
sessions of in depth conversations and vocal musical performances
recorded and filmed cover several musical forms in the Indo Pakistani
tradition, including Thumri, Kaafi, Ghazal, Qawwali and Khyaal. The
kalaams that the musicians drew from spanned the whole spectrum of great
poets: Khusrau, Jalal ud din Rumi, Kabir, Baba Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah,
Iqbal, Faiz and numerous mystic poets of India and Pakistan. The
performances evoked memories of the verdant lushness of the Punjab, the
haunting mysticism of the Great Rajputana and Sind Deserts, the vibrancy
of Hazrat Nizamuddin’s Delhi, the great aura of Ajmer, the majestic
beauty of the Indo-Gangetic plain.
Some
of the musicians are established and famous, others are amongst the
brilliant budding talent that adorns Pakistan’s musical scene. Each of
the mehfils has a distinct atmosphere and mood, but there is a common
thread. We asked each of the musicians to stay close to their respective
inherited musical traditions, allowing the singers an opportunity to
present some pieces that are rarely heard today.
