India, Pak qawwals join for music fest – Hindustan Times

Reviving the rich tradition of Sufi music and the legacy of Amir Khusrau, qawwals from across the subcontinent will render the compositions of the legendary scholar at the place where he lived and worked in the 13th century.

A 10-day long musical and literary festival, Jashn-e- Khusrau, will bring together over 50 qawwals from India and Pakistan — an exclusive assembly with different dargah affiliations, with each performing a repertoire of Amir Khusrau’s kalaam in their distinctive style.

Besides remembering the 13th century Sufi legend, the festival also aims to revive a monument, that has been recently restored and landscaped.
