from 19.15  we are showing Music of Pakistan - a documentary film

Son of the legendary Haji Ghulam Farid Sabri and heir to the Sabri heritage, Amjad Farid Sabri has risen to be one of the leading Qawwals in Pakistan today.His musical lineage stretches back over many centuries, the vocation being passed
 
His career started at the age of five touring all over the world with the Sabri Brothers, his father Ghulam Farid and uncles Maqbool, Kamal and Mehmood Sabri. Amjad’s music, Qawwali, is the devotional music 'sema' of the Sufis, themystics of Islam, "the divine message which stirs the heart to seek God".
 
Whilst the poetry is all important to the Sufi, the passion and intensity of the music also have the power to move someone who cannot understand the words,seeming to touch the heart and stir the spirit directly, causing an intoxication, a rapturous joy and an understanding which speaks in a transcendent language.
