Some of the best from the ajrak clad Abida Parveen on 4 audiocassettes

Abida Parveen is considered by many as one of the greatest singers of the sufiana kalaam

Everything about the artist is noticeably different from her contemporaries. A loose full-sleeved kurta and shalwar with Sindhi ajrak chadar draped over her shoulder is the trademark dress of Abida Parveen. With no make-up on and very little adornment of any kind she comes of as a devoted and honest performer of her craft. It’s this faithful devotion to the Sufi’s that brings about the kind of intensity that over powers the audience.
