Mehr & Sher Ali (part one)

Characterized by strong voices, explosive hand-clapping and intricate rhythms performed by all-male ensembles, qawwali is devotional music based on the mystic poetry of the Sufi masters. Pakistani-born brothers Mehr and Sher Ali, who lead the ensemble, received their early musical training from their father, a court classical singer in India. They believe that qawwali transcends the limitations of orthodox religion and that the music can bring harmony and peace to the soul, while projecting a message of unity and love for all.

in south asia, there is no orthodox religion, no religion in general. these are secular modernist label that r retroactively injected into our pasts via european orientalist scholarship, i.e imperialism...

this is not opposition to orthodoxy/religion but is our religion itself...
