QAWWALI SONGS www.riyaazqawwali.comQawwali is a venerable yet refreshing musical tradition that dates back to thelate 13th century. The word qaul refers to an \"utterance (of the prophet)\" and thefirst Qawwals (qawwali artists) repeated these qauls by making them the subjectmatter of their qawwalis.In this regard Riyaaz idolizes Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who took semi-classical qawwali to new heights of popularity in both the Hindustani ShastriyaSangeet as well as the World Music circles through the 1980s and the 1990s.Riyaaz Qawwali hopes to take this niche tradition of Sufiana Kalaam and expandits reaches by introducing newer poets to traditional compositions andmodernizing the sound while keeping authentic elements, all in efforts to reachnew audiences.
