So that gathering becomes a spreading of the message.” “So I always pray that I may receive, and once the divine listens to that, He creates a gathering where I become a channel, and then that flows to everyone who is interested. The music is everything for her, if you abandon music, music will do the same to you. And this is a gift of that door.Ībida Parveen, the most celebrated legend, says that every concert is ‘a first concert’ for her. A journalist asked her that ‘’why do you meet Naseebo Lal with such humility on set’’? she replied that she acquired that humility from the door of Imam Fazal Al Abbas (AS) who was an Imam and prophet of loyalty. The super spiritual saintly soul displayed great affection and humbleness during the reception to the other singer Naseebo Lal in the Coke Stadium before the recording. Recently, she was interviewed by a journalist after the recording of her new song TU JHOOM, with the collaboration of Naseebo Lal. During her applauses, she has often replied that MERA KUCH NAHI SUB MOLA KA HAI ( I don’t have anything, everything belongs to mola). She often displays her devotion to Ahl al-Bayt (the holy family of prophet Muhammad PBUH). If I want to be recognised for anything, it’s the journey of the voice. Once she disclosed that: “My culture – our culture – is rich in spirituality and love”, she says: “sufism is not a switch, the music is not the show – it is all of life, it is religion. But assuredly, her audience acquires from her that hallucinatory state, together with the vibes during the concert and they appreciate those ethereal moments greatly. She has confessed to hallucinating while deep in performance. On stage, she is a magnificent projection of calmness but the shows often end up a wild, sweaty and ecstatic mess. Her live performances are magical and extraterrestrial. This culture is coming from the prophet (PBUH) and this then travels through the sufi saints and is spread throughout the world.” Once, she articulated that every shrine has a distintive culture, every sufi saint has a disparate culture and one learns through spirituality as well…The true culture of sufis is all about spreading peace.
During her childhood, she visited different shrines with her father. The great poet sufi saint, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, a composer who blended folk music and classical raga in a style known Kafi, was Parveen’s inspiration.Ĭertainly, she is a sufi super star, a giant of a world music and she has an arresting presence. Parveen’s career was launched when she sang before 12,000 devotees at Saint Ur’s (death anniversary) in 1981. The Statute of Humbleness is considered a female counterpart to the genre’s spiritual and vocal golden boy of his time, the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, best known to the Western world through several albums on Peter Gabriel’s Realworld Labels.
The songs bring us nearer to God, near the Almighty, so that the human soul becomes purified and satisfied.Ībida draws her audiences near to God not only by spreading his messages of love but by trying to induce WAJD, the state of spiritual ecstasy which ‘precedes’ revelation. The human becomes so involved and lost in this world that he has forgotten God instead. The greatest mystic singers sing mainly ghazala, thumri, khyal, qawwali, raga, sufi rock etc. She is a “Global Mystic Sufi Ambassador”. Her popularity placed her in the 500 Most Influential Muslims of the world, with the power to induce hysteria in her audience. According to Parveen, her Ajarak came from a darga (Mausoleum). She appeared in a very distinctive style of clothing, a long simple frock buttoned up to her neck, covered with a coat along with an Ajarak (a sindhi dupatta).
Born in a Sindhi Spiritual musical family 67 years ago, she was trained by her father Ustad Ghulam Haider, a famous singer and music teacher, who also plays the Pump organ, Keyboard and Sitar.Ībida has an amazing persona on the stage during her live singing performances. She is certainly one of the foremost exponents of Sufi music, and is considered one of the finest Sufi vocalists of the modern era.Ībida Parveen was the only child of her parents. The living legend and Queen of Sufi Mystic singing, started her journey in music from the tender age of three, and first performed at the age of six. By Sarvat Hossein “Andhi Chali to Naqsh-e-Kaf-e-Pa Nahi Mila”, written by the great Urdu poet Mustafa Zaidi, was the first ghazal Abida Parveen sang.
