Music reviews of Last Prophet
Music Review: Unique devotional mystic music from the Sufi tradition
Rating: 4 Stars
The Last Prophet by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a unique listening experience, especially for someone centered in the western tradition and unfamiliar with Islamic inspired music. These songs are called Qawwali because they are devotional music derived from Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam. Sufism developed in 10th century Iran and spread to the Indian subcontinent by the 12th century where millions were converted to Islam. It is possible to think of the swirling Sufi dancers of Turkey as the physical equivalent of Qawwali songs with their swirling, spiraling vocals. Qawwal refers to a wise or philosophical saying which comprises the lyrics to much Qawwali music and is meant to bring listeners to another state of mind toward spiritual enlightenment or deeper inner knowledge. The music is very popular in Pakistan. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's family has been involved in classical Quwwali music for 600 years. The Last Prophet is the first song and refers to Muhammad, the last prophet to mankind. Another selection is about Gunj-E-Shakar, the Sufi saint. The repetitive nature of the music enduces consciousness changes but the vocalalization is different from that which the western ear is accustomed to hearing.
