I share with you this guy Joe Taheny’s blog post about the music of Pakistan. He’s a traveler who’s just interested in this stuff and does a pretty cool job of documenting it. Pretty awesome stuff, with great videos to boot.

I love folk music, man! Especially the classical and folk music from Asia. It’s amazing. Have a look.

  • I'll have to check out Ghazal. Sounds really interesting! You have any? I recently got into Erkin Koray... famous Turkish musician from the 1960s. Very cool!
  • A band by the name of Ghazal is worth a listen (ghazal is also the name of a poetic form like middle eastern haiku, but that is another story).
  • Yes--got very interested in Qawwali in the early 90's. It was a happy time. Pity about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan--I was very sad when I heard of his death; he came from a long and distinguished line of Qawwali singers. Islamic culture thrived when the Sufi were most influential--not a coincidence, in my humble opinion.
