Best Sufi Qawwali Songs

WELCOME TORIYAAZ QAWWALI

“ The art of qawwali, as with most of the great Asian musical and literary traditions, is transmitted orally ... The vehicle of music is used to bring one closer to the experience of the inner truth. The qawwal will dwell on certain words to give them a wider context creating great depth in the apparently simple language ... He will often repeat a phrase or sentence indicating both the obvious and hidden content by emphasizing or ruminating upon particular words and syllables, taking the audience into the discovery ofhitherto obscure meanings. Thus, mundane objects are embued with deeper meaning — a spinning wheel becomes the wheel of life ” caff.co

Riyaaz Qawwali’s mission is to expose qawwali to new audiences, while still paying homage to traditional qawwali that has been in existence for 700+years. The ensemble wants to expand the reach of the genre to new stages and people of other faiths and traditions.

The Experience, a short TV series, aims to  showcase South Asian art being produced outside of the Indian subcontinent, presented on a major video hub (Youtube/Vimeo/Hulu or PBS/Smithsonian/National Geographic). This collaborative series aims to highlight different art mediums and encourage upcoming artists, and challenge the normal and accepted ways art is currently viewed/consumed. It focuses on highlighting a lesser known face of South Asia, via qawwali and other traditional/folk arts. The interfaith philosophies presented in Qawwali, or the amalgamation of Hindu and Muslim ideas in the Kathak, or the classic bandhishes (pieces)played on the Sarod/Sitar, all represent the oft-ignored beauty and maturity of South Asia . With South Asia's inherent complexities, the art goes to show the diversity of its people. caff.co
