After searching around I found this really interesting clip of the group Fanna-Fil-Lah performing in the streets of Morroco. Aside from the colourful, earthy visuals, the entire video feels so genuine and real, with people all around, giving change and really feeling the music.
They’re clapping along, and are circled around the performers who are on the ground – the way Qawwali is traditionally performed. Along with the performance, the clapping itself becomes a part of the performance, leading to a sense of deep sense commune.
I found it incredibly interesting the way in which the performance just fit into the Morrocan crowd as well as the way in which Qawali seems to just be enjoyed and appreciated by individuals outside of the South Asian subcontinent – especially such an indigenously traditional and specific form of music.
