Every once in a while I find music that grabs me and I feel the need to find out more ASAP. This usually happens while listening to "World" music - a term that I find revolting because "World" music means anything that isn't Western/American. I recently stumbled across Syed Irfan Haider, a Shia Pakistani with an amazing voice and cuts that appeal to my love of work songs, shanties, soulful rhythms and and call and response, fight songs, and a brilliant heartbeat tempo.
Jheetay Rahoo Aun-o-Muhammad is the cut that hit me and hooked me. No offense intended to Mr. Irfan
Haider but the tempo appeals to me on several levels - whether bhangra or aforementioned religious/labour songs.
I am attempting to find out more about the man and his music. When I do I will certainly post my findings.
