We are fortunate to have such a beautiful genre in Qawwali. While a lot of music is produced in India, none of their melodies are like ours—their songs come and go without leaving a lasting mark. The government should also work to promote Qawwali more and more, and our artists should take it to the world as part of our cultural programs. Watch here:
