 ou group singing and an instrumental sound\, combining introspective praye

  electric abandon. Cali Qawwali’s unique spiritual music calls upon tradit
 ional Sufi and classical raag-based songs from Pakistan and India\, new co
 mpositions\, Bollywood\, kirtan\, ghazal and folk. The music is nourished 
 by Sukhawat Ali’s immersion in the Shaam Chaurasi gharana\, his musical fa
 mily dating from the sixteenth century. Lyrics are in Urdu/Hindi\, Punjabi
 \, Arabic and Persian\, sometimes combined effortlessly in one song. The a
 udience is often invited to clap\, sing and move with the band\, creating

 rines. Instagram: @caliqawwali Soundcloud: Cali Qawwali\n\nSukhawat Ali Kh
