Alt: Curry.
Altalt: Not really helping with the WOMAD prick meme, but I went to see Irshad Ali Qawwali Party and they were really excellent.

Rajastani yurtpricks"Direct from Rajahstan for a very rare UK appearance, Irshad Ali Qawwali Party are four young exponents of this ancient Sufi musical form. Qawwali can be traced back to the 13th Century migration south of people from Persia into India and the resultant melding of their respective musical traditions. The form has continued and evolved through then to the present day, carried through the centuries by faith and fervour, evident in the gloriously impassioned group choruses typical of Qawwali.
The youth and energy that Irshad and his BROTHERS inject into their performances suggest the lifespan of this music is truly infinite and also truly timeless."
