About Riyaaz <strong>Qawwali</strong><br />
<strong>Qawwali</strong> is an amazing genre of music, with lively rhythmic cycles, gripping<br />
melodies and a unique approach to adding improvisational poetry. It is no<br />
wonder then that this genre has gripped the attention of each musician<br />
that has joined the group. It is the party’s goal to re-familiarize audiences<br />
in the United States with this unique musical style.<br />
The songs which constitute the qawwali repertoire are mostly in Urdu and<br />
Punjabi (almost equally divided between the two), although there are<br />
several songs in Brajbhasha and Persian. The poetry is implicitly<br />
understood to be spiritual in its meaning and the central themes are love,<br />
devotion and longing (for the Divine).
