Asif Ali Khan
Gocoo's performance seemed unsurpassable although I knew Asif Ali Khan was a different kettle of fish entirely. They came on stage for sound tests at about 4.15pm and I started snapping away. They were just as good then as they were in their show, which began at 5pm. Their qawwali had crescendos of huge intensity, sung with an enormous range of expressions, gestures, gesticulations, etc. It was easy to see how devotees of Sufism can become entranced by this rhythmic transcendental whirlwind. By the time they’d finished, I was on cloud nine. It was so beautiful, a work of pure grace.
