  2. #Ethnomusicology is a hobby of mine (see my bio), and I’m currently obsessed with UK singer/musician Abi Sampa and the #Qawwali orchestra. The backstory of this collaboration is the ultimate in musical and cultural fusion - a fascinating tale. So of course I wrote about it, and included multiple links to music videos, a France 24 interview, and two “behind the scenes” videos that, en toto, will give the reader the whole picture. I am in love with Sampa’s resonant contralto voice, so powerful, and her stage presence - so confident, a real virtuoso. So yeah, I’m a total fan-boi. It doesn’t matter if one doesn’t understand the Punjabi and Urdu languages of her songs, it’s the way her music/singing will make you feel. docs.google.com/document/d/1gD #music #SufiMusic #SouthAsia

  6. Such a voice…a powerful contralto from Abi Sampa - born in a Hindu Tamil village in Sri Lanka, educated in the UK, a practicing dentist; now performing Sufi devotional songs with the Qawwali Orchestra, often in churches across England. Wow. How’s that for a backstory? I absolutely adore her voice; and the orchestral arrangement and chorus is perfect. Also, her tabla player is a virtuoso. Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan would be proud.

  11. この友人の友人は聖者廟参拝に熱心で、おいらの関心と非常に合致する。
    彼の村に行くときはいつもあちこちの廟に連れて行ってもらう。

    今日はそもそも友人同士2人だけで聖者廟に向かうことになった際、ならばちゃいろも叩き起こして呼びつけよう、となったらしい。こういう叩き起こしは大歓迎である。

    という訳で廟のカゥワーリー演奏のひとコマ(編集したけどオトも今日の演奏のオトである)。

    動画じゃ認識不能だが、この廟の現指導者が専用の席に座っての演奏で、演奏終了後には長い祈祷を経て、行列を作って指導者に謁見して触れてもらい、恩寵のお裾分けを戴く。

    婚礼やエンタメとしてのカゥワーリーとは奏者も聴者も根本的に異なる。

  16. How do we experience #emotion in #qawwali, a central pillar in South Asian devotional #Islam? Thomas Graves (LSE Library) discusses this complex concept (and he's added links to some wonderful qawwalis as well 🤫 ).

  25. 3/ The fabulous and talented Abi Sampa (I’m a huge fan) performing with the Qawwali Orchestra. Sampa is a Tamil woman, born in Sri Lanka, moved to England where she is a practicing dentist in addition to her #music performances. She sings a lot of Sufi songs. I love her voice! So strong.

  29. I’m an amateur ethnomusicologist, which means I listen to a lot of varied, ethnic music. It fascinates and delights me, it’s really that simple. Every so often I encounter a performance that stuns me, knocks my socks off. This #Qawwali orchestra piece featuring the wonderful voice of Abi Sampa is just such a tune. This is ecstatic devotional #music at its absolute best. A Tamil girl, originally from Sri Lanka, singing a Sufi song written by a Muslim in a church in England - where she is a practicing dentist!

  33. 🧵2/ If you’ve ever wondered what ‘ecstatic music’ is all about, this performance by Abi Sampa and her ensemble epitomizes the genre. Just look at the faces of the artists involved! And the graceful dancer! To paraphrase one of the comments: This is a devotional #Sufi song, written by a Muslim, performed by a Tamil girl, in a church in England… How perfect is that? youtu.be/WyZZBpxcLMw?si=Vehzgf

  37. I am in love with this woman’s voice😍 I don’t understand a word, but that makes no difference. Her singing is ecstatic, devotional and resonates at a deep level. Her voice soars in this atmospheric Qawwali aria, accompanied by a fine-tuned orchestra. For an amateur devotee of #ethnomusicology, this unique virtuosity is a stunning find.

    I say unique because Abi Sampa’s story is quite unusual. Born in Sri Lanka to Hindu Tamil parents (the oppressed minority in that country), her family emigrated to London where she was educated and went to dental school. A practicing dentist, she lives and records in England with her musical partner. They organized the #Qawwali Orchestra together. Sampa is a trained Carnatic singer who has been involved in traditional song for decades. #music #MusicVideo #song
