Qawwals
Qawwals are performers who sing Qawwali, a traditional form of devotional music originating from South Asia, particularly associated with Sufism. Their singing combines powerful vocals, rhythmic clapping, and often improvisation to express love for the divine and spiritual themes. Qawwali is both a musical art and a spiritual experience, usually performed at Sufi shrines and gatherings. The performers, typically a group led by a lead singer, aim to create an uplifting, soulful atmosphere that fosters spiritual reflection and connection. Their music transcends languages and borders, emphasizing unity and devotion.
