Cultural Heritage
Qawwali is a vital part of South Asia's cultural heritage, especially in Pakistan and India, where it has been performed for centuries at Sufi shrines. It blends Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and South Asian musical traditions, reflecting the region’s rich cultural history. Passed down through generations of qawwals, the art form preserves classical poetry and spiritual themes. Qawwali is not just music but a living tradition that connects people to their cultural and spiritual roots. It plays a key role in religious festivals, family events, and public gatherings. Through Qawwali, cultural identity and heritage are kept alive and shared across generations.
