Music, media and mysticism : the pop-proheticism of Bob Marley and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 213-222).This dissertation examines the recent emergence of popular recording artists who explicitly invoke the prophetic voices of their religious traditions in their music. In doing so, they situate their music within a pre-existing prophetic lineage. These musicians selfconsciously view their music as vehicle to spread a divine message, and they recognize that their lyrical voice can either become or echo a prophetic voice

"Music as an Interfaith Tool: The Meeting of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with the Novum Gaudium Gregorian Chant Choir"
No full textThe world of qawwālī is marked by the dazzling passage of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997), to the extent that one could say that there is a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ Nusrat: before him, no qawwāl had ever released so many recordings or been so successful. The great majority of the Westerners surely listened for the first time to qawwālī thanks to Nusrat’s intense voice. His meetings with musicians from different backgrounds took him to the most diverse audiences, as did his appearances in various film scores.
In this article I take into exam the reception of the qawwālī as a musical genre in itself in the West: even if the listeners could not understand its poetical mystical texts in Urdu, Hindi and Farsi, the genre was clearly perceived as ‘devotional’ and ‘spiritual’ mainly thanks to the intense climate typical of the musical genre itself and thanks to Nusrat peculiar voice that entered different spiritual Western circles. From this contextualisation, I focused on a case study, a particular interfaith musical meeting that took place in 1994 at the ‘Time Zones’ Festival in Bari, Italy, at the San Sabino Cathedral, between the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Party and the Gregorian Chant Choir Novum Gaudium directed by Benedictine father Anselmo Susca (1929-2012). After this meeting, in 1997, a CD entitled Oriente / Occidente was released for the label Materiali Sonori. The concert and its CD can be considered as an example of a true interest in interfaith spirituality that was typical of the epoch and that somehow vanished after September 11th 2001

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Get PDFLa renommée planétaire du chanteur Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan permet désormais d’entendre son chant qawwali aux quatre coins du monde, que ce soit en concert, par la voie de ses innombrables enregistrements vidéo, CD et K7, ou des musiques de film à succès qu’il compose et interprète.Ce faisant, il s’éloigne du cadre originel du qawwali, forme musicale chantée depuis le xiie siècle dans les sanctuaires soufis de l’Inde du Nord et du Pakistan. Dans ces mausolées, le sama’, ou concert spirituel se développant autour du qawwali, est traditionnellement conçu comme une opportunité permettant de guider le dévot vers l’extase, expérience vécue de la divinité dans une alliance d’amour mystique.La pratique séculière de ce chanteur qawwal n’est néanmoins pas nouvelle, puisqu’outre les concerts privés proposés depuis très longtemps par la plupart des musiciens de ce genre musical, le qawwali a été érigé depuis l’émergence du Pakistan indépendant en élément distinctif de la culture nationale pakistanaise, et à ce titre fortement appuyé par les appareils d’Etat comme Radio Pakistan.Devenu maintenant pour la diaspora pakistanaise un flambloyant symbole identitaire, enraciné dans la tradition mais aussi projeté dans – et reconnu par – la modernité occidentale, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan s’est mué en fer de lance de la diffusion internationale d’un qawwali aujourd’hui happé par le tourbillon de la World Music, cette mouvance musicale globalisante de notre village planétaire.Face à l’essor accéléré des échanges musicaux mondiaux, et au risque induit de nivellement sous bannière occidentale des multiples sensibilités musicales, il incarne avec faste les ambiguités d’une musique rituelle projetée dorénavant auprès des audiences modernes des cinq continents, nous renvoyant, médiateur inspiré, à la nature et la qualité fondamentales de notre propre écoute.The planetary renown of the singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is now such, that his song may be heard at the four corners of the earth: in concert, on his innumerable video recordings, on CD and audio-cassettes or in blockbuster film music that he composes and performs. In this way, he is moving away from the original context of qawwali, a form of music carried out in the Sufi sanctuaries of Northern India and Pakistan since the 12th Century. In the mausoleums of those areas, the ‘Sama’ or spiritual concert which developed linked to the qawwali, is traditionally devised as an occasion for the devout to be guided towards ecstasy, an experience of divinity lived in a union of mystical love.The lay practices of this qawwal singer are nevertheless not new, for, apart from the private concerts given for a long time by most musicians of this musical genre, the qawwali, since the foundation of an independent Pakistan, has been raised to the status of a unique Pakistani cultural symbol and as such has been strongly supported by state bodies such as Radio Pakistan. Having become, for Pakistanese emigrants, a flamboyant symbol of their identity,both rooted in tradition and also acknowledged by Western modernity, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is cast at the forefront of qawwali international publicity and is caught up in the whirlpool of ‘world music’; the global musical flux of our planetary village.Confronting the ever increasing scope of worldwide musical exchanges, and at the risk of an induced levelling out of widely different musical sensibilities, he ostentatiously symbolises the ambiguous nature of ritual music now played before modern audiences in five continents. In so doing, as an inspired mediator he reflects back on us as, the fundamental nature and value of our own listening
