The song itself is very old.. it was originally sung by Abida Parveen. This music genre is known as "Dhamaal" in Pakistan... which is a spiritual Sufi singing or what you call as Sufi Whirling. If you have seen scenes from Old Pakistani films from 1960s or 1970s, the actress whirls and shakes her head... when performing Dhamaal.. as if in Spiritual Trance... and sometimes put snake around her neck.
You can see it live here at an event in Pakistan. People actually lose their consciousness / senses doing a Dhamaal and have to be controlled by others to stop hurting themselves. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SihdsEzawaU.html
Lyrics of the second Sufi poem (Gho-om Cha-rak-na) written by 16th century Sufi poet Shah Hussain in Punjabi language. They did not sing the whole poem here but it is given below: "Turn (Ghoom), o spinning wheel (Charakna), Turn, long live your weaver Who weaves the yarn of love Shah Hussain is old With wrinkles all over At dawn he looks for those Who have left their hearth With every movement Vibrates the name of the Master With every beat There is perfect union There is perfect communion The spinning wheel echoes His name Every heart beat follows its strain Shah Hussain, the faqir, prays It is you, it is you It is the same refrain!" In this context spinning has the meaning for whirling of dervishes (sufi practitioners) and also the spinning of time. The real meaning is always between the lines for the listener to interpret and the station of the listener in his/her quest It's a beautiful metaphor, spinning the yarn of my heart with the wheel of love and devotion. Don't keep digging too much. This stuff can pull you in too deep :)
I have to listen to this again.... At work.. Listening to this.... Outta of this world.... Surely cleansed me off the corporate world since morning!!!! Thank you immensely!!
That big marching band kind of drum is referred as "DHOL". Mostly used in Punjabi songs. Dhol is a percussion instrument made of wood, brass, leather, cotton, parchment and metal.
I think now you should delve into Pakistani Drama Industury's OSTs (Original Soundtracks). You'll not only enjoy the outstanding music, but also see the look of Pakistan through their official visuals. Some of the best recomendations are: > Khuda Aur Mohabbat Season 3 by Harpal Geo TV. > Khaani by Harpal Geo TV. > Sang-e-Maah by Hum TV. > Parizaad by Hum TV. > Alif by Harpal Geo TV.
Ghoom Charakhra: This poem was written by a sufi poet & saint Shah Hussain. And has been sung by a number of singers. Still people found tranquility in listening to this sufi music Ghoom charakhra charakhra Spin, spinning wheel! Ghoom charakhra saainyyaan da teri kattan waali jeewe Spin, Lord’s spinning wheel, long live the one who spins You Kattan waali jeewe Long live the one who spins You Lariyaan kattan wali jeevay Long live the one who spins Your strands FYI: the spinning wheel can metaphorically mean the unstoppable circle of time or the whirling dervishes or the wheel of love and devotion.

Lyrics of the first Sufi poem (Gha-Ro-Li) written by Sachal Sarmast (true mystic) whose real name was Abdul Wahab Farooqui, a Sufi poet, writer and philosopher in the 1700's from province of Sindh who wrote poetry in 7 languages and who I love (just look at the last name) "I fill this earthen vessel with love for my Beloved I fill this earthen vessel with love for my Lord I fear only the wrath of Allah I fear only the wrath of my Lord"
Love , respect, admiration You will also love the orignal version of "mehboba" sung by haroon Please react to "haiderium" from nescafe basement Its a modern touch to "qawali " Qawali is one of exclusive genere of south asia, especially Pakistan
Amazing song to react to. Love your reaction ❤️ Please react to Miya ki Malhaar by Coke Studio Season 6. It's all about rain and it's progression is amazing with a great buildup in the end with the electric guitar. You'll love it
These qawali songs always put you in a trance. She has such an amazing and commanding voice 🙌💙 Also, so random but Jim's cat popping up at the bottom of the screen @ 4:05 scared the absolute living shite out of me 😂😂
Yes, this track is Abida Parvern's cover. This was Abida Parveen's first super hit during the eighties. Spiritual and mystic musical pieces are usually referred to as kalams or kaafis. Ghoom in our language means going round. Charakhra is a spinning wheel. This is a mystic kalaam by Shah Husssin., one of the great Sufis of our land.. So there is a concept of Whirling just like they hsve in Turkey by the followers of Rumi. The Mehran Valley and the land of South Punjab of Pakistan had a lot of sufis. The city of Multan is called the City of Sufis. 🤗
Man, you gotta watch the videos of the metal band called 'Takatak'. One of the finest djent-metal bands in the world right now. Both the drummer (Yusuf) and the head-banging guitar player (Zain) belong to Takatak. ru-vid.comvideos
I've been following you from the day you started reaction on coke studio Honestly this is the first time I've seen you enjoying/grooving/nodding your head this much Love from Pakistan 🙏💖
Loved your reaction! You might also like, 'Kameez teri Kali'; nescafe basement season 4. It's not sufi rock like this one bit it's a really interesting take on an old folk song, with some great instrumentations.
The instrument you referred to is called DHOL. " BHANGRA" , the famous Punjabi dance is performed on the beat of this musical instrument. By the way, just love the way you analyze the songs. May you find love when you least expect where you least expect. Love and regards from Gujranwala, Pakistan.
Hi Jim, great reaction!! Check out these videos from Coke studios Allahu Akber Aik Alif These fall under the category of Sufi music. I think you and your audience will definitely enjoy it. You’re doing an awesome job!! Thanks
Yes bro this was good but this song by Coke studio abida Parveen is mind blowing.plz react on coke studio ghoom charakhra.well wishing from Sindh Pakistan
Great feedback as always Jim. This was a qawali remade with modern instruments. If you liked the energy and vibe of this piece you gotta check out "Rang" by Amjad Sabri and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. That one is pure qawali without any modern musical embellishments, yet still blows you away with its energy and the godlike skill of the singers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uks8psEpmB4.html&ab_channel=CokeStudio
Ammmmmmmmmmmmmmazing🤩 reaction man thank you 😍 please react next for the same surprice 😅"" Coke Studio - Sayonee | Junoon Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Ali Noor "" it will be another legendery sufi bangger for you
HASAN AND HUSSAIN PEACE BE UPON THEM , ARE THE GRANDSONS OF MOHAMMED PEACE BE UPON HIM, BUT TO TAKE THEM TO THIS LEVEL ARE THE TEACHINGS OF SHAYTAN THE GREAT HIMSELF
THIS SONG IS FULL OF SHIRK, ALI PEACE BE UPON HIM , IS NOT A HAAJAT RAWA, MEANING HE IS ABLE TO FULLFILL ALL YOUR NEEDS, IT IS ONLY AND ONLY ALLOWED BY ALLAH ALL MIGHTY HIMSELF, NOT ANY HUMAN BEING WHAT SO EVER
Love your reaction bro but but let me tell you this NOT A PRAYER, NOT A SPIRITUAL SONG, just a musical piece of art. Because MUSLIMS DONT PRAY BY BEATING DRUMS, PLAYING GUITAR OR ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. thanks Bless you ❤
