When I was little and all of my friends were listening to the newest Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys songs on their walkmen, I was listening to Sound Vision. This wasn’t my choice—my dad continuously tried to convince me that Dawud Wharnsby was indeed much cooler than the music everyone else was listening to. How he found out about Wharnsby, I don’t even know, but I’m glad he did.
Let’s fast forward to the present day, where I don’t have to rely on cassettes to hear what I want. Now I can go to Youtube and hear anything I want. Let’s get real though. In my humble opinion there are few things that are better than these old school tracks that I usually end up going back to.
I know a lot of people don’t listen to musical instruments, so rest assured that Wharnsby’s tracks are made of just his voice and the voices of a small choir.
Not only are his tracks pleasant to listen to, but more importantly, each one has a significant meaning. Whether it be a story about a prophet pbuh, or the city of Madina, or being thankful, each of the nasheeds leaves a lasting impression.
Some of my favourites include:
The beautiful story of Yusuf (pbuh)
Full of humility
Madina-tun-Nabi
