Many members are asking about the qawali so i thought of letting you guys know.


Qawwali, also spelled Qavvali, in India and Pakistan, an energetic musical performance of Sufi Muslim poetry that aims to lead listeners to a state of religious ecstasy—to a spiritual union with Allah (God). The music was popularized outside of South Asia in the late 20th century, owing largely to its promotion by the world-music industry.


An example is:

Khawaja mere Khawaja from Jodha Akbar


Hope i was helpful
