Collection: Qawwali

Qawwali is a vibrant and spiritually rich form of Sufi devotional music that originated in the Indian subcontinent. This genre is characterized by its powerful, soulful vocals and rhythmic intensity, often featuring call-and-response patterns between lead singers and a chorus. Qawwali's influence extends beyond its traditional roots, blending seamlessly with various musical styles. Its impact can be heard in Classic Bollywood soundtracks, where it adds emotional depth to film scores, and in Classic Pakistani Pop, which incorporates Qawwali's passionate delivery and intricate melodies. The genre also shares a close connection with Naat, a form of poetry praising the Islamic prophet Muhammad, often performed in a Qawwali-inspired style. Additionally, Qawwali draws from and contributes to Pakistani Folk music, incorporating regional instruments and themes while maintaining its distinctive devotional essence.
