Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the most revered Qawwal came to prominence to western audiences through his collaborations with Eddie Vedder and Tim Robbins (Dead Man Walking soundtrack), Michael Brook, Massive Attack, and Peter Gabriel (Last Temptation of Christ soundtrack) which would result in a number of tours and albums released in North America and Europe. Khan's Qawwali acts as a living testament to music's power to link all humans, unashamed of emotion, to the divine. At once soaring and penetrating, these sounds seem to rip open the sky, slowly revealing the radiant face of the beloved. Qawwals don't just sing, they sing from the very bottom of their hearts, and the men who accompany Khan in his ensemble do not just play music, they become music itself.

DREAMINGS: Aboriginal Healing Didgeridoo Ref: RCD105CSL

Will Seachnasaigh

Music Therapist, percussionist and didjeridu master, Will Seachnasaigh, has lived among the Yolgnu people of Australia's Northwest Territory, studying the ways in which this ancient culture uses music for healing and meditation. The didjeridu, one of the oldest instruments known to humankind, is made from a simple eucalyptus branch hollowed out by termites. The aboriginal Yolgnu are capable of using this haunting horn to put both the player and listener into a deep and meditative healing state. The indigenous musicians who evolved this art used music to create a bridge between the ordinary world and the Dreamtime, a spiritual dimension of being, where the cosmos is given shape and meaning. In the Dreamtime a connection to nature and one's own basic instincts is the source of healing.
