Foreigners who don’t understand the language also appreciate Qawali and love the traditional music. In fact it is being said that in order to produce a block buster film, all that needs to be done is add a Qawali. The spirituality that we experience in songs today are all because of the richness that qawali has given to modern music. It is a centuries old tradition and we want to make an effort to glorify it further in the coming years. Qawali is a very popular cultural music and will be played till eternity in the shrines and places of Sufi’s and saints.
