78 rpm Records of Indian Music: Abdul Raheman Kanchwala & Sufi Quawal (of Patiala)

Some terrific quawwali singing from Abdul Raheman Kanchwala (who appears to have continued a performance career into the relative present, judging from the results of a little googling) and the anonymous Sufi Quawal (of Patiala). Both of these recordings were part of the collection purchased in Udaipur in 2000.

Abdul Raheman Kanchwala: Jawoonga Khwaaja dard-e-dil sunane ke

Abdul Raheman Kanchwala: Aa jaa o halima ki nigahen ke sitare

Sufi Quawal (of Patiala): Aa mota dilaka khatkaa

Sufi Quawal (of Patiala): Ab to mera bimahi bhi

Hi Warren,

Thanks for putting these marvelous recordings online. Wonderful stuff.

Dear Warren,
You sat next to me at the Dollar Brand concert in late winter 1975–Old North Church in Boston. We had a great conversation and you actually made/mailed me a cassette of Ibraham’s very rare (at the time) south african recording…. a few minutes ago i was playing “Shrimp Boats” on the piano and thought of you,,, and googled you and guess what! we’re both still alive. i love your music and promise to catch up on all i missed in the last 36 years… i remember that night like it was yesterday… still have that cassette btw!

love,
david brown
