I got two tickets (the seats aren't beside each other) to the rahat fateh ali khan concert which is gonna happen in December 30 at the coca cola arena. And because of some things in my life, i may not be able to go. Will sell each ticket for 85 dirhams(negotiable) bought them for 100. dm for details
Following in the same vein as the recent performances and anticipation for unconventional coachella acts such as Hanz Zimmer and Danny Elfman, I present to you the spectacle that is Qawalli and Ustadh Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, seen here performing live at the Nobel Peace Prize Awards.
He is one of the masters of the art of Qawalli, a South Asian special way of singing that is quite unique, characterised by emotive singing, certain instruments, a call and answer style of riffing with a main lead and a chorus of men and prolonged sylabbles seen demonstrated by his uncle Nusret Fateh Ali Khan, considered the godfather of Qawalli. Its a type of music that touches the soul but is also surprisingly lively.
I'd highly recommend watching the first clip if you have time, the way it builds and builds, imagining it in the atmosphere of coachella when it starts getting dark is just chefs kiss.
Of course, this is a complete wildcard wish, I have no idea if they would even have interest in performing at Coachella, but it'd be an experience that's for sure.
