Artists
who's who and who's doing what?Abida Parveen
- country:Pakistan
- style(s):Qawwali
- label:Accords Croisés
- artist submitted by:
One often compares Abida to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for her dazzling voice and her musical imagination allied with a totally feminine, delicate statement to the divine Beloved of what His love will make us endure. If Abida Parveen is really a cult, it is because this tremendous artist offers herself to her audience, and as much it demands, as much she is prepared to give herself in order to serve the Kalam (the Verb) of the Sufi saints. Sometimes staying on a low note, sometimes producing sounds of an extraordinary virtuosity,
she is always transformed by energy, seemingly inspired by He of whom she sings the praises in ecstatic communion with her audience.
