Qawwali of Pakistan
Mehr & Sher Ali
Mehr and Sher Ali, leaders of one of Pakistan’s most popular Punjabi qawwali groups, are celebrated for their vocal virtuosity and spiritual intensity. They are noted for their mesmerizing performances of qawwali – the ecstatic devotional music of Sufi Muslims that was made famous in the West by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Their joyous singing,similar to gospel in the use of call-and-response and religious fervor,is accompanied by percussive hand clapping, harmonium, tabla (drums) and a chorus.
