Dama Dam Mast Qalandar | Nooran Sisters | Dhaka International FolkFest 2016

#FolkFest #DIFF2016 #NooranSisters #India

Nooran Sisters earned worldwide popularity right after the release of song “Pathaka Ghuddi” composed by legendary composer A.R. Rahman. Jyoti and Sultana Nooran were trained in Sufi music by their father Ustad Gulshan Mir. Following the tradition of Sham Chaurasi Gharana and Mirasi, Nooran Sisters quickly catapulted into success by staying close to their roots.
An initiative of Sun Foundation; ‘Dhaka International FolkFest’ is a celebration of sheer musical brilliance where myriads of folk artistes from home and abroad perform on a single platform.

নুরান সিস্টার্স পাদপ্রদীপের আলোতে আসেন কিংবদন্তি কম্পোজার এ.আর.রহমানের গান গেয়ে। তবে জ্যোতি ও সুলতানা নুরানের সংগীতজীবনের সূচনা একেবারে ছোটবেলাতেই, বাবা উস্তাদ গুলশান মিরের কাছে গানের তালিম নিয়ে। শ্যাম চৌরাসি ঘরানা এবং মিরাসি ঘরানার গান করে নুরান সিস্টার্স সাফল্য পেয়েছেন অল্প সময়েই। ফোক গান দিয়ে শ্রোতাদেরকে মাটি ও শেকড়ের কাছাকাছি নিয়ে আসার অসামান্য ক্ষমতা রয়েছে তাদের।

সান ফাউন্ডেশনের উদ্যোগে আয়োজিত ‘ঢাকা ইন্টারন্যাশনাল ফোকফেস্ট’ লোকসংগীতের এক মিলনমেলা। এ উৎসবে বিশ্বের নানা প্রান্তের লোকসংগীত শিল্পীদের পরিবেশনায় অসাধারণ সব লোকগান শোনার সুযোগ পায় বাংলাদেশের মানুষ।

This was my first time attending the festival and honestly not many people were excited when they announced Nooran Sister's name because although their songs were getting popular their names were pretty unknown to general listeners . But my oh my when they started blasting and went for about 2 hours with the same immense and unbelievable power whole stadium went crazy. People were dancing like they have been possessed including myself. By the time they reached this song 'Mast Qalandar' (which is a famous song in the subcontinent) I discovered I have no shirts on my upper body and sweating profusely from the sheer excitement and joy. Remember it was the winter season in Dhaka. I've listened to many artists and attended several concerts in my life but none of them matched that one gig and Nooran Sisters. Glory to them, glory to the music. Peace ✌️

Divine stuff. At 5:58 it seems like she kinda "improvised" the melody and showed the tabla player with her arm gestures how the beat is supposed to be. And then at 7:37 she goes to the same verse again but this time the tabla player plays the beat as she had instructed him previously. Love it!

I'm very impressed by the rock'n'roll vibe the sisters have, even more than actually rock bands. Kudos from Brazil.

Her voice is so powerful that even drums fades away

I’m a Black Gospel singer and this thing here was POWERFUL!!! I have no clue what they were saying but music communicates in a soul level 🥰🥰

I was at this concert, it was UNBELIEVABLE in person. By the end we were so mesmerised, such a build up to the end, everyone was on their feet with their hands to the sky in appreciation for about 10 minutes. Never seen anything like it at a festival, they really touched our souls in a way only Sufi singers can. Jyoti’s voice has a lot of power.

The Nooran sisters are Sufi Muslims from Jalandhar, Indian side of Punjab so Punjabi is their mother tongue, they introduce the song in Punjabi, but this song is actually in the Sindhi language. This song belongs equally to Pakistan, India and Bangladesh as it’s beloved by all 3 nations and famous artists from all three countries have covered it with their own excellent versions.

I am not Indian but thank God for the Indian culture.

[smamind]

If they can sing at this phenomenal level for straight 13 minutes and they are just out of this planet.

[gaffaralam]

Never seen such female energetic singer.... big salute

[MCowie]

I had never heard of these two until someone set their singing to heavy metal guitar. As good as that was this is even more amazing.

I don’t know the first thing about this kind of music, I stumbled across this video (33M views? What could it be?). I’m completely stunned—this one of the most stunning musical performances I’ve ever seen. These two are geniuses.

This song is a masterpiece of this subcontinent. Many great artists from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have sung this song in different styles at different times but Noora Sisters this song is more lively, more brilliant.

പറയുന്നത് എന്താണെന്ന് ഒന്നും മനസിലായില്ല. എന്നാലും പാട്ട് പൊളിച്ചു. പാടിയവരും പൊളിച്ചു.. Troll ൽ കൂടെ ഇവരെ കാണിച്ചുതന്ന പല ട്രോളന്മാർക്കും നന്ദി..💖💖💖

I laughed madly for a meme, and then i started finding her in YouTube by 'Shouting lady singer' and find her by name Nooran Sisters, and started to hear. Goosebumps. Became a biggest fan of them. Now I hear them everyday. ❤️❤️
