Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Mann Kunto Maula has been performed by so many artists, but rendition by Abida Parveen and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan remains in a different league.
Download Nusrat Sahib’s version below to admire the amazing genius of King Qawwal.

Qawwali certainly seems the greatest musical export from South Asia. Although I don’t understand Indian raag, Qawwali has a amazing groove to it, and many of my friends at university enjoyed it too. Anybody recommend a good place to download Qawwali from Pakistan?
sounds like Balkan Gypsy band.

–this is a typical western music form which is dominated by Harmony and Rythm. qawali is mainly based upon two important pillars: rag and tal. Rag is the melodic form while tal is the rhythmic.
Brooklyn qawali is a corruption of western and eastern musical forms and lack of devine notes, is like shouting and without classical music constraints.
Excellent. I am not a jazz fan but a big qawalli fan. What I loved about this was that it made me understand what Nusrat Fateh Ali’s qawalli sounded like to someone who is not following the words. For me the words are really important in qawalli but this made me realize how powerful the music component is.
Wow Great Qawali
