Drawn from the enigmatic poetry of mystic Kabir Das, this track is a traditional Qawwali performed by Fareed Ayaz Qawwal, who are known globally for their pioneering space in the ever-evolving genre, rooted in the mystery of the divine. This Qawwali and its timeless poetry, addresses the wistful period between midnight and sunrise, best captured in the word ‘Madrugada’ of Latin origin.
This Qawwali dwells on the birth and the inevitable end of time and age, from the perspective of the lover who longingly watches their beloved sleep, as the night sky slowly and suspensefully turns to dawn. Dawn being when the beloved must awake and resume their journey of enlightenment, and the inescapable separation from the lover.
First released in 2006, presented again, now in 2021 as a remastered Qawwali, with a richer conviction and belief in the Sufistic balance of the feminine and masculine attributes of all beings.

I was blown away. I imagined the track as a trippy contemporary rendition of age-old composition. Saeen’s and Zara Madani’s voice together seems to bring a masculine-feminine balance to this manifestation.

This is a demo session recorded during Coke Studio season 4 in 2010 for the track Mundari. This is the preparatory process making this recording a test of our concept. Saami Saheb’s emotive delivery and body language brings this groovy session to life, and is a masterclass in itself for using the body for energetic vocal delivery.
His openness to technology, but commitment to old world craft is seen in his expressions; the eye-contact he makes with with the team during the recording, and as he takes off the headphones, at the end of the track. We look forward to further investigating this experiment, and sharing with audiences and music makers on our Youtube Community, the creative exchange between Saami Saheb and the CS team.

This soundtrack is a contemporary adaptation to four distinct musical styles of Pakistan, highlighting the timelessness of our musical heritage. The track in its final form depicts a journey from classical, to folk and then Qawali. The traditional afternoon Raag Bhimplasi performed by Ali Akbar, makes its way to Thari folk sounds drawn from the Tharparkar region, delivered by legendary Mai Dhai of Sindh, reaching a devotional hiatus featuring Ali Akbar and Zain Zohaib Qawal Troupe. The track closes with the sounds of Pakistan; the motherland; its natural heritage from North to South, the cold mountain winds, ever-changing sky and renewed sea. The journey is encapsulated by the cloud-like vocals of Wajiha Naqvi and Zara Madani, and the recitation of Allama Iqbal by Arif Bahalim.
