Name

Qawwali Music in Contemporary Pakistan
with Umair Jaffar

Description

Join Umair Jaffar as he explores the changing face of qawwali, a devotional music thought to have originated from Sufi shrines. Increasingly qawwali is being performed outside of its sacred milieu — at weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings. How does this align with its sacred origins? Is the soul of qawwali fading? Jaffar delves into to these questions and unravels the various interpretations of qawwali music in contemporary Pakistan.
