Hawa Hawa

Sitarist Shujaat Husain Khan may be best known to Western audiences as part of Ghazal, a highly regarded North Indian-Iranian classical music duo that has recorded a handful of albums, but in India he is also recognized as a young member of the Khan family, an acclaimed dynasty of musicians that reaches back seven generations. On Hawa Hawa, Khan's second album as a solo artist, the sitarist, who is accompanied by tabla and percussion, steps away from the classical ragas to do North Indian folk music. To the untrained ear, the music is similar sounding, but these songs are more raw and direct than the more meandering classical material, quickly getting to the heart of the song and then getting out. Khan sings and plays with a fiery passion that literally ignites the material, bringing to life tales of love, unrequited and otherwise. The cumulative effect of this rich tapestry of notes and insistent rhythms is both ecstatic and sad, and never less than hypnotic. --Tad Hendrickson

It's Hard Not To Listen.......2006-05-28

Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan may very well be the best Hindustani musician of his generation. It's quite phenomenal that he is so well versed in the classical and folk traditions of India. This is very rare to find. Even more rare to find is a musician with such a feel for music to bring people to tears when listening to it. When I first heard this music, I was into alot of styles of music but the only indian music i was into was the classical form of the north and south. This music helped me to understand the beauty of the folk tradition of india and revealed where the classical music came from. This is the root of all Indian Classical Music. It soothes your soul. I think that even more important than having ears in order to listen to music is having a heart filled with love. Shujaat sings beautifully and plays the sitar incredibly well weaving an ocean of bliss and imagination. He leads the way to an unknown world....the world of Shujaat Khan. Hawa Hawa.....

I listen to this CD almost daily. I have it in my car and nothing is better to listen to after a long day at work. The music is both rhythmic and soothing at the same time. The vocals are truely inspirational. If you are thinking of exploring this type of music, I cannot think of a better CD to start with.

4.5 stars for a great CD - here's why.......2004-03-24

First, let me say that this is a very pleasing, easy to listen to but intellectually simulating CD. Shujaat Husain Khan has a smooth, mellow, well-controlled singing style and his sitar playing, especially the fills around the vocal parts, is impeccable. While the songs might sound similar, closer listening will reveal clear differences in the melodies. The "culprit" in terms of that apparent similarity is the sound of the sitar. It is the only non-percussion instrument in this recording and while Shujaat plays beautifully, I found myself wondering why he did not vary the overall color mix by bringing in other instruments. For someone has well-placed in the Indian classical music community as Shujaat (his father is the late Ustad Vilayat Khan, master sitarist), I have to think that he could have easily called in the top young players of, for example, the bansuri (wooden flute) and sarangi (the small upright violin instrument championed by Pandit Ram Narayan). Judicious use of these instruments as well as, perhaps, an additional voice (I am thinking female, e.g., Shweta Jhaveri) would have made this a sensational CD. Don't get me wrong. It's very good, but Shujaat should have pushed himself a bit in putting this project together.

Absolutely gorgeous........2004-01-24

Quite simply, one of the most beautiful, alluring and contemplative sets of North Indian music to come down the pike in while. Husain Khan hails from the province of Simla, and draws on that regions folk tradition to gather this stellar set of a half dozen romantically themed songs, sung in both Hindi and Punjabi. If you've ever found Indian music a bit daunting or inaccessable, then try this disc out -- it's rich and relaxing, without a single discordant moment... I've spent days on end without it ever leaving my stereo, and really can't recommend it highly enough. A must-have.

The Beautiful Voice of Warda.......2001-10-03

Nagham El Hawa: Best of Warda is a must for any Warda fan!! This is 2 CD set with many of her popular songs such as harraml ahebbak, ya saeedy, batwans beek, and nar el ghera to name a few. Warda has a wonderfully emotional and powerful voice that adds to the meaning of the songs. Whether you are a bellydancer looking for good music to dance to or a music listener yearning for those heart wrenching love songs to listen to, I highly recommend this 2 CD set.

Artistically beautiful...........2003-07-18

however, I am not a big fan of Sr. Mary Keyrouz and her voice is the lead in every Chant on this disk. A bit bland compared to other religious chant CD's on the market. The only reason I gave this CD 3 Stars is because it is accurate in it's presentation of Eastern Rite (Maronite) Chant.

I much prefer and would recommend without any reservation whatsoever the CD, "Chants of the Maronitic Liturgy" by Prof. Louis Hage and P. Paul Rouhana over this album.
