<strong>Qawwali</strong><br />
<strong>Qawwali</strong> is a venerable yet refreshing musical<br />
tradition that dates back <strong>to</strong> the late 13th<br />
century. The word qaul refers <strong>to</strong> an "utterance<br />
(<strong>of</strong> the prophet)" and the first Qawwals (qawwali<br />
artists) repeated these qauls <strong>by</strong> making them<br />
the subject matter <strong>of</strong> their qawwalis.
