"Ishk Hakiki" the real love – an evening of sufi music by Sufi Bawra at The Attic, 36, Regal Building, CP > 6:30pm on 20th April 2013
Time : 6:30 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Description : “Ishk Hakiki” the real love – an evening of sufi music by Sufi Bawra
The term Sufi music is paradoxically easy to recognize yet difficult to define. It is obviously related to the philosophy of Islamic Sufism yet sung by many who do not believe in Islam. It is the bedrock of the music of cultures as diverse as those of Turkey, the Middle East and Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent and Indonesia. In India it takes the form of the Qawwali, The Ghazal or Kafi, where it is sung in Urdu, Hindi or Punjabi. Musicians draw liberally from the rich and all inclusive heritage of both Sufi and Bhakti poetry and music that to attempt to categorize this intangible and unformalized music is almost a disservice.
Its main features “ Sufiana Kalaam” are its mystical poetry, (specially that of Rumi, Hafez, Faiz, Bulleh Shah, Sheikh Farid, Hazrat Amir Khusrau,) its strong relationship to the Bhakti Movement which included Kabir, Guru Nanak and Meera Bai, its search for spirituality through ecstasy and unfortunately in modern times its ‘fetishization’ by the cultural industry and its bastardizations as Sufi-rock and Sufi-pop.
Sufi Bawra came to this music through his mother who was a devotee of the Kabir panth gharana. He learnt Hindustani classical music by Pandit Vinaya Chandra Maudgalya, Pandit Vasant Thakar and Pandit Madhup Mudgal at Gandharava Mahavidyalaya.
He was sent to Afghanistan from 2007 – 2009 for 2 years by ICCR to train to train Afghan students in classical, folk and sufiana music. In 2010 he was invited to musically celebrate India’s Republic Day in Kathmandu.
He continues to teach classical music since the last 30 years at Gandharava Mahavidyalaya.
