Jada Pinkett Smith is a big Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen fan

Pakistani music icons Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen have surely held their thrones in the country’s music scene but it appears that their influence is spreading swiftly across the seven seas, all the way to Hollywood as well.

Hollywood’s famed actor Jada Pinjett Smith, wife of acclaimed star Will Smith, recently turned to her social media expressing her profound fondness for Pakistan’s sufi music, in particular two favorite music icons –Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

Sharing a clip of the two vocal power houses performing Chaap Tilak on Coke Studio, the Gotham star states: “@queenofsoul_ap and @officialrfakworld are two of my favorite vocalist of Sufi music. This song is called Chaap Tilak and you can go on YouTube to check out the lyrics. They are beautiful.”

Soon after she showed her followers a glimpse into Pakistan’s ethereal vocal crowned heads, many people not familiar with the Amir Khusrow poem or Urdu language itself also appeared entirely in awe of the two music icons.
