Those who had packed the hall a little after midnight enjoyed the piece to the hilt.

Their rendition on Friday night was full of energy and spiritual oomph. Not even in India where a big number of similar groups perform all year round, there’s anyone who could match their passion or skills.Īnd how can any performance by the two not have the soul-stirring qaul ‘Man kunto Maula’? The moment they start the qaul the audience readies itself to sway with the beat. This is the reason that Farid Ayaz and Abu Mohammad, today, arguably, are the finest exponents of qawwali in the world.

The beat, for example, for the second kalaam required a transition that wasn’t easy, but they did it effortlessly. Here one must mention that while the brothers are often hailed for their qawwali renditions, it’s their understanding of the art of music and its finer points that is just as awe-inspiring. Remarkably, the shift to ‘Zeenat-i-Yaseen tui’ was just as heart-warming. The pair gets totally immersed in the kalaam and Farid, being the elder of the two, has this habit of translating the words into Urdu in case some members of the audience don’t understand the Arabic and Persian phrases used by Ala Hazrat. Lead singers, Farid Ayaz and Abu Muhammad, accompanied by their chorus singers and percussionists, weave together devotional and secular traditions for a transcendent evening of music. The passion with which Farid Ayaz and Abu Mohammad read the na’at is something that the younger generation of qawwals must observe. Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Qawwali Ensemble’s musical roots go back 700 years in the tradition of Qawwal Bachon ka Gharana of Delhi. On Friday night, the pair did the same, and it would not be wrong to claim that each passing year their performance seems to outdo their previous stints on the Napa platform.Īs always, the qawwal group set the tone for the night with the beautiful and soulful ‘Lam yaat-i-nazeer-o-kafi-nazarin’ by Ala Hazrat Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi. They arrive on stage around midnight and perform for more than a couple of hours to a hall that has seldom had an empty seat. The Bazm-i-Aqeedat organised by the music department of the National Academy of Performing Arts (Napa) has become a regular feature of the academy’s Ramazan programming.įor the last eight years, the inimitable duo of Farid Ayaz and Abu Mohammad has been at the centre of it all.
