Looking Back at a Labour of Love
I am silent in anticipation, as adrenaline rushes through me as a music lover. I delight at the opportunity of listening to original compositions. It is for this reason that when the song Mawla Mera Ishq Tu is shared with me, I eagerly click on the link to experience the musical journey expressed through this beautiful composition.
Spearheaded by the Ismaili Council for the Far East, the song showcases the collaboration between composer Karim Barolia and 62 global artists commissioned by The Ismaili Sounds, quite fittingly representing the 63rd year of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Imamat and a testament to the symbolism that the song represents. Not only that, but the artists hail from a total of 25 countries and speak seven different languages, further demonstrating the diversity and richness that makes up the global Ismaili community.
