Fanna-Fi-Allah

About Fanna-Fi-Allah

Fanna-Fi-Allah translates as: annihilation into Allah. Qawwali is an ancient practice wherein the fire of divine love (ishq) is ecstatically expressed through the mystical verses of Sufi poets, sung in Urdu, Farsi, Hindi and Punjabi. Each Qawwali song embodies the mood of the poetry within sophisticated ragas combined with an exultant spontaneity. The foremost expression in this music is through the voice, accompanied by two harmoniums, booming Pakistani tablas, hand clapping and the tampura.
