The following video is of a very famous man of Islam, known as Nusrat. He and the members of his band sing with such intensity. To be honest and not to be crass, but I have a good idea of what they are saying, but frankly, I really don't care what it's meaning is.
Someone convinced me long ago, too much of anything is not good. I believe it's true of booze (and other mind altering alternatives), love, religion, work, or play. I'd say that's true of their message; however, the sound and intensity is amazing.
Somewhere in this life, we all have loss, and most often, more then once. It sucks. When this guy sings, it sounds like the period of your life when you have been stung in the soul worse then anything you ever have known; a greater magnitude of pain, delirium, and loss than you ever thought possible.
I had a friend who lived in Kenya for 25 years. He once said to me of the desert: "it's no place for man, son. It's the worse place you could ever imagine, a place you don't want to be". These singers have spent too much time in it.
Part I takes some time to get moving, so watch the 2nd first:
