Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad Qawwals are masters of Qawwali Sufi music. They represent the twenty-sixth generation of original thirteenth-century Qawwals.
What is Qawwali:
Qawwali is a form of devotional music seeking to transport musicians and audience closer to the divine. Deriving its name from the Arabic word “Qaul”, meaning "to speak," qawwali is a musical vehicle by which a group of musicians called Qawwals delivers inspirational messages to devotees. This traditional music works its way to ecstatic peaks with powerful vocal performance, rhythmic hand claps, and the use of traditional musical instruments like the harmonium, the dholak and tabla. Qawwali repertoire are sung in Persian, Urdu, and Hindi by the lead singer and chorus playing in a call-and-response style.
