Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan PP (Urdu: شفقت امانت علی خان; .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-smallfont-size:85%.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-smallfont-size:100%pronounced [ˈʃəfkət əˈmaːnət əˈliː xaːn]; born 26 February 1965) is a Pakistani pop and classical singer, songwriter, and composer belonging to the Patiala Gharana tradition of music.[1][2] He was the lead vocalist of the Pakistani pop rock band Fuzön until 2006[3][4] and is a prominent playback singer in the Indian film industry and Pakistani television industry.[5][6][7][8] The youngest son of noted classical vocalist Ustad Amanat Ali Khan,[9][10] Ali started his musical training at the age of four under the tutelage of his uncle, Ustad Bade Fateh Ali Khan, who was widely regarded as the foremost exponent of Hindustani classical music in Pakistan.[11]
Ali was only nine years old when he lost his father, but considers him his greatest inspiration and influence in his craft and creative process.[36] In an interview, while referring to his father, he revealed: "I have always wanted to be like him, sing like him, look like him. He is my inspiration. It is a compliment for me if someone says that I sound like him."[37] Ali has also shared that some of his vocal techniques are inspired by his older brother, Asad Amanat Ali Khan: "I have borrowed a few things from him which I incorporate both in my performances and songwriting. Since we both followed our father, sometimes people say that I sound both like my father and brother, and this makes me particularly happy."[38]
Ali notes that listening to The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Michael Jackson while in college was especially impactful for him, helping him learn how to dissect rhythm, explore similarities across musical genres, and fuse them together.[49][50] He describes that "there was a sense of adventure [in] listening to these divergent sounds"[49] and that "when I would hear these western songs, I would often do alap over [them] and incorporate classical improvisations [in]to these songs."[51] Ali was the first person in his family to go to college[52] and graduated with the Roll of Honour from the Music Society of Government College University,[20][26] in addition to being the college colour-holder in music.[52]
It was during this time that Ali met his soon-to-be bandmates, and together they went on to form the pop rock band Fuzön in 2001.[4] Ali describes that the name of the band was a reference to their unique brand of music that 'fused' together elements of modern pop rock with traditional Hindustani classical, Pakistani folk, and Sufi music.[58][59] "Aankhon Ke Saagar" was the first song[26] to be composed and recorded for their debut album Saagar (2002, Empire Music and Virgin Records),[60] followed by "Khamaj" ("Mora Saiyaan"),[26] and both songs went on to become enormously popular in both Pakistan and neighbouring India. The songs "Khamaj (Mora Saiyaan)" and "Teray Bina" from Saagar were featured in the soundtrack of Nagesh Kukunoor's 2004 film, Hyderabad Blues 2.[34][39][61] Saagar also made history by becoming the first studio album to be released by a band simultaneously in both India and Pakistan.[58][59]
After leaving the band Fuzön in 2006,[3][70] Ali began to focus on his solo career as a vocalist.[57] Based on folk and Sufi works, his debut solo album Tabeer was commissioned by the Music Today label and released in September 2008.[36][71][72] Billboard magazine described the album as a modern reworking of "traditional Sufi poetry."[73] The video of the lead single of the album, "Khaireyan De Naal," was aired on all music channels in India and Pakistan.[74] Ali composed and sang a modified version of this song for the Bollywood movie Tevar in 2015.[75] In 2008, Ali sang the songs "Phir Wohi Raastey" and "Allah Megh De" for the multi-award-winning[76] Pakistani film Ramchand Pakistani which highlighted the plight of cross-border prisoners in both India and Pakistan.[77][78]
Also in 2008, Ali wrote, composed, and sang the song "Paiman" to raise awareness about maternal and neonatal health and wellbeing.[79] The song and its music video were part of a USAID-funded health communication initiative called PAIMAN (Pakistan Initiative for Mothers and Newborns), with partner support from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs and Aga Khan University among others.[80] The same year, Ali collaborated with Strings, Shuja Haider, Hadiqa Kiyani, and Ali Zafar (among others) on a song called "Yeh Hum Naheen," which was part of an anti-terrorism campaign aimed at projecting a softer and positive image of Pakistan and Islam to other nations.[81][82] The song led to a record-breaking 62.8 million Pakistanis signing a petition to uphold the message of the campaign.[82][83]
In 2011, Ali appeared in Season 1 of Coke Studio India,[88] where he sang four songs produced by Leslee Lewis, including modified renditions of "Akhian" (from Saagar) and "Kya Haal Sunawan" (from Kyun Dooriyan). The same year, he also wrote, composed, and sang the song "Yahaan,"[89][90] which was aimed at highlighting the natural beauty and diversity of the Gilgit-Baltistan region and promoting cultural tourism in the area.[91][92]
In 2014, Ali sang the song "Jeenay Chaley"[94] for the soundtrack of the critically acclaimed film Dukhtar which criticised the practice of child marriage in Pakistan.[95][96] The film was Pakistan's official submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards in 2015.[97][98][99]
Shafqat Amanat Ali's third solo album Muh Dikhai: Unveiling The Songs Of Eternal Love was released in March 2015 under the Times Music label[49][100] and included songs in both Hindi and Punjabi languages. The album featured an assortment of sentimental ballads, pop, and Sufi devotional songs. Ali did not focus on any specific genre for this album, choosing to experiment with orchestration and arrangements instead.[49][101] The album included a reimagined rendition of the popular ghazal, "Dil Dharhaknay Ka Sabab," originally composed by Ali's father, Ustad Amanat Ali Khan,[35] and written by prominent Pakistani poet Nasir Kazmi,[102] with veteran Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah featuring in the music video.[103][104][105] The album also included the Sufi track "Rang," for which Ali adapted the well-known qawwali, Aaj Rang Hai, written by the 13th-century Sufi poet Amir Khusrau.[106]
In 2017, after a long hiatus from Coke Studio Pakistan, Ali appeared again in Season 10[107][108][109] and performed several songs: "Allahu Akbar" (a traditional hamd written, composed, and directed by Shuja Haider) and "Maula Tera Noor" and "Bol" (both composed by Shani Arshad). Ali sang "Bol" as a musical tribute to eminent Pakistani poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz,[84] and received particular praise and critical acclaim for his dynamic vocal performance and versatility in "Allahu Akbar."[84][110][111] He also sang the national anthem of Pakistan in the same season,[112] along with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Ali Sethi, Aima Baig, Quartulain Balouch, Shuja Haider, Sahir Ali Bagga, and Ahmed Jahanzeb among others. All four songs were produced by Strings. Reflecting on the legacy of Coke Studio Pakistan and his own contributions to it, Ali remarked: "Coke Studio has played a big part in promoting Pakistani music globally. They've managed to bring our forte and our specialty to attention; these are the sounds that make Pakistani music different."[84]
In 2020, Ali released a number of singles under the newly established UK-based South Asian record label Sufiscore, which was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic.[121] Notable among these singles were "Lassi"[122] and "Main Kya Janu," the latter being a musical tribute to Indian singer K.L. Saigal.[123] Also in 2020, under the Sufiscore label, Ali collaborated with classical vocalist Shafqat Ali Khan for a song titled "Shafqat with Shafqat," with the musical score being produced by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra.[124] The same year, in response to the COVID-19 lockdown in Pakistan, Ali released a prayer song titled "Hey Daata," which was an adaptation of a song originally composed and sung by his father Ustad Amanat Ali Khan during a period of drought in the subcontinent in the 1960s.
In 2021, on the occasion of Pakistan's Defence Day, Ali collaborated with singers Abida Parveen and Sajjad Ali for a patriotic song titled "Mader-e-Meherban" which was released by ISPR, the media wing of the Pakistan Armed Forces.[125][126]
Describing his approach to composing music, Ali stated in an interview, "blending eastern classical with western pop rock is what I love to do the most."[51] Infusing elements of classical ragas into his pop, soft rock, and Sufi compositions is therefore a distinctive feature of Shafqat Amanat Ali's music, especially salient in his albums, including Saagar in which as many as seven songs incorporate various elements from Hindustani classical ragas.[3] In all three of his solo albums, Ali similarly attempted to innovate and add a contemporary touch to traditional eastern classical music to reposition it in the global music scene. While not deliberately trying to break convention, he has experimented stylistically with ragas to make them more approachable and palatable for present-day audiences,[152] asserting that "it's good to keep experimenting so that listeners do not get bored."[93] He has also intentionally named some of his songs after the ragas they are based on.[166]
