About this song

- Coke Studio (2016)
rang or Aaj Rang Hai Ri Maan Rang Hai Ri, (Hindi: रंग, Urdu: رنگ ) "Color" / "Today There Is Color, Oh, Mother" is a poem by the famous medieval Sufi poet and scholar Amir Khusro, regarded as the "Father of Qawwali"
The poem tells how Khusro comes back home after having found his spiritual guide, Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya, and describes the experience to his mother.
The lyrics performed in this Coke Studio video are an arrangement of that ancient poem, mostly respecting the essence of the original.
It was written in a mixture of Hindustani and Braj or "Braj Bhasha", a North Indian dialect that still exists today, much diminished, but was a major literary choice in medieval times.
This is a style of qawwali called "kalam", in which tempo and intensity increase as the music progresses, to symbolize the mystic trance of the singers.
The performers are two famous Pakistani singers: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Amjad Sabri.
Both belong to famous families of qawwali singers: Rahat is the nephew of the famous Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Ajmad is the son of Ghulam Farid, one of the equally famous "Sabri Brothers" band.
It is worth noting that these two predecessors, Nusrat and the Sabri Brothers, had also sung this qawwali together on the occasion of the commemoration of the death of the Sufi leader Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer, India (believed to have been in 1983, although the date is not exact).
