From the sacred shrines to global concert halls, Qawwali has evolved while staying true to its spiritual roots. With origins tracing back to 8th-century Persia and Amir Khusrau’s innovations in the subcontinent, this Sufi musical tradition continues to captivate hearts.

In Pakistan, the Qawwali legacy thrives—whether at dargahs, weddings, or on the biggest music platforms. But how did it transform over the decades?

Watch as Nukta Pakistan’s Raheel Saleem explores this powerful tradition with legendary and emerging qawwals like Fareed Ayaz, Abu Muhammad, Mujaddid Amjad Sabri, and Ali Zaman Taji.
