Sufi Utterances for Peace: Qawwali Mehfil Performed by Ghayoor-Moiz-Mustafa Qawwal and Brothers

Qawwali is a form of Sufi devotional voice and instrumental performance, originating in South Asia. Each performance is unique as these classically trained vocalists, who are among the most exciting contemporary practitioners, interweave verse-chorus sequences that are rich in poetic and spiritual symbolism in Urdu, Farsi, Hindi, Poorvi, Arabic, and Punjabi.
