Qawwali is a form of devotional music that has its roots particularly in Pakistan and India. The word 'Qawwali' is derived from the Arabic word 'qaul' which means 'to speak'. Qawwali is usually performed by a group of musicians, known as qawwals, who use their voice and instruments to create a powerful and spiritual atmosphere that is both uplifting and emotional. Qawwali is believed to have originated in the 13th century in Sufi shrines, and is performed and listened to all over the world today.

In Pakistan, Qawwali is an integral part of the country's cultural heritage. The music has been popularized by the famous qawwals such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sabri Brothers, and Aziz Mian. Qawwali is usually performed during religious festivals and ceremonies, and other spiritual occasions.

One of the distinctive features of Qawwali is the use of 'call-and-response' singing, where the lead singer (known as the 'ustad') sings a phrase and the other qawwals (known as 'chorus') repeat it. This creates a harmonious and unified sound that is both powerful and moving. The lyrics of Qawwali are often in Urdu and Persian, and they typically revolve around the themes of love, devotion, and spirituality.
