Vintage Tea Towel #2

The weather deteriorated during the day but while I was preparing lunch I was able to prop up a pinboard on an outdoor chair to take a shot of this splendid NTS Mackintosh tea towel with a design featured at The Hill House.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Reshma - Duma Dum Mast Qalandar (1991?)
This may have been playing on the radio while I took these pictures, chosen by Cerys Matthews for Radio 6. Reshma was a Pakistani folk singer who sang devotional Sufi music in Punjabi, inspired by the Sufi poets. This is from the album Treasured Moments With Reshma, released in 2006. Reshma died in 2013 and the recording is not dated.
"Dama Dam Mast Qalandar (Every Breath for the Ecstasy of Qalandar) is a spiritual Sufi qawwali written in the honour of the most revered Sufi saint of Sindh, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (1177–1274) of Sehwan Sharif.
"It is said that this qawwali was adapted from the original prayer by the 13th-century Sufi poet Amir Khusrow, and was then modified completely by Bulleh Shah in the 18th century. Bulleh Shah gave an entirely different color to the qawwali, adding verses in praises of Shahbaz Qalandar and giving it a large tint of Sindhi culture. The poem includes a reference to the town of Sehwan, which is home to the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. The word "Laal" can refer to Jhulelal as a young man, or his red dress.
"With origins dating back 600 years,"Dama Dam Mast Qalandar" is a popular traditional Sindhi Sufi Islamic folk song across the northern Indian subcontinent, especially Punjab and Sindh, as well as Iran. Various renditions of the song have been composed and performed by numerous composers and singers over the years." - Wikipedia
